-

Best-selling 90s girl band the Spice Girls, pictured, promise to give fans what they really, really want on a UK reunion tour next year.

The band – minus pop star-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham – released details of a comeback tour, which will see them play Wembley Stadium, Britain’s biggest venue.

In a video shared on the band’s newly created Twitter account, the four remaining members staged a mock news broadcast to confirm rumours of the tour.

Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, later posted a photo of the foursome on social media alongside a statement.

“I won’t be joining my girls on stage again but being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish my girls so much love and fun as they go back on tour,” she wrote on Instagram.

The pop phenomenon’s announceme­nt sparked celebratio­n from fans on social media, including from British singer Adele, who shared a throwback childhood photo of herself posing excitedly in front of magazine posters of the band on her bedroom wall.

The band’s official Twitter account promised a “new generation of girl power” and was flooded with a frenzy of posts from nostalgic fans.

“The Spice Girls performing in my home town! I need to sit down. I can’t breathe!!” tweeted Wez from Sunderland. “I’m already packing my Union Jack dress and platform shoes, see you there,” another exscited fan, Vicky, added. –
