Spice Girls reveal 2019 reunion tour
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. –
