It’s the dream to Spice up Glastonbury life, says Mel C
MELANIE C said it would be ‘the dream’ for the Spice Girls to play at Glastonbury next year, adding she has a ‘good feeling’ band member Victoria Beckham would join them.
The 48-year-old singer, who played Spice Girl anthems Who Do You Think You Are and Spice Up Your Life during her Glastonbury DJ set at Williams Green stage on Thursday evening, described the experience as ‘insane’.
She told BBC Breakfast: “I didn’t expect it to be as big as it was and as many people to be going as nuts as they did, it was a wonderful introduction to Glastonbury.
“It’s amazing because the wonderful thing about Glastonbury is there is something for everyone, there is so many musical styles and when you drop a Spice Girls song you think: how is it going to go? But people loved it, it was wonderful.”
The singer, known as Sporty Spice, wore an ‘Alexa play Spice Girls’ t-shirt during her DJ set.
Talking about the Spice Girls playing at Glastonbury, she said: “It’s the dream, the absolute dream, we would love to do it.
“The girls and I, we have chatted about it, it’s the biggest stage in the world, we have the best festival in the world right here.”
She added she has a ‘good feeling’ that Beckham, known as Posh Spice, would join them for the gig.
The singer added that Sir Paul McCartney, who will be the oldest headliner when he plays at Glastonbury tonight, makes British people, especially people from Liverpool, ‘so proud’.
“He is still out there doing it, he is incredible and I think everyone has to see Paul McCartney in their lifetime, to see him here at Glastonbury will be incredible,” she added.
Mel C announced she will be taking to the Other Stage on Friday with pop band Blossoms for a Spice Girls song during their third Glastonbury set, calling themselves the ‘Spicey Blossoms’.
“They are great lads,” she added.
