Spice Girls planning sensational comeback for Olympics closing ceremony | |
Spice Girls are set to make a much-awaited comeback by perfoming at the closing
ceremony of the London Olympics.
According to sources, the quintet – Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton,
Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm – are “95 percent” confirmed to perform at
the event. The girl band, who have not sung together since 2008, are set to join
George Michael, The Who, Take That, Emeli Sande and Jessie J for the stunning
climax to take place on August 12. Tipped to perform two songs, the group has
provisionally agreed to sing their 1996 debut hit ‘Wannabe.’ Halliwell is expected
to wear a Union Flag dress like she did at the 1997 Brit Awards. News of their
comeback came as 38-year-old fashion designer Beckham let slip in a radio interview
that she would like to appear one more time with the group. “I’m so respectful
of my past and I love the other girls. We have some fantastic fans,” the Mirror
quoted Beckham as saying on RTE’s John Murray Show. “I don’t know about a comeback
tour but I loved being back with the girls. Who knows, maybe some day we’ll do
something else with the Spice Girls. I would love nothing more. “There was a lot
of fun, we did so much together and we’ll see. If they’re up for something then
I certainly am. We are so proud to be English and we are very excited about the
Olympics,” she said. Her comments are at odds with previous suggestions that LA-based
Beckham was the one who had been blocking hopes of a reunion. But the busy mum-of-four
has unexpectedly been given more time to rehearse with the group because footie
husband David, was left out of the Team GB football squad. Now the main stumbling
block seems to be Mel C who is a judge on TV talent show ‘Superstar’ and is right
now getting over her recent split from boyfriend Thomas Starr. “The girls were
approached for the Games two years ago. It’s always been on the cards,” a source
said. “But Victoria ’s hectic work schedule, and the fact she and Mel B live in
the US have always been problematic until now. Victoria is in London until the
end of the Games and David’s exclusion from the football team means she has time
to reunite with the Spice Girls. “Talks are back in full swing and the balance
of power rests with Mel C. Everyone is hopeful she will agree to perform,” the
source added.
