Mel C really wants Spice Girls comeback
Former Spice Girl Mel C told the BBC on Friday that she has warmed to the idea of a reunion of the all-female band.
The singer, who went by the name Sporty Spice, said she had been opposed to getting the pop group back together, but now “there is just so much great feeling out there and I just thought, you know what, I don’t want to be the person that stops it happening.”
But Mel C, whose real name is Melanie Chisholm, stressed that any reunion would likely be short-lived.
“It would be a final goodbye and a thank you to all the fans all over the world,” she said.
Rumours have swirled for some time about a possible Spice Girls comeback, but it was thought that Chisholm was the last member of the quintet still resisting the idea.
Originally formed in 1994, the Spice Girls also featured Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell), Scary Spice (Melanie Brown), Baby Spice (Emma Bunton) and Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham).
The group released three studio albums and three singles, beginning with the 1996 hit Wannabe, which sold over 53 million copies.
The Spice Girls also starred in the 1997 film Spice World, which grossed over $29 million US.
Halliwell left the band the following year, and the rest of the group split in 2000, with each member taking on a solo career.
