David Beckham has shared a video of all five Spice Girls reuniting for Victoria’s 50th birthday celebrations – check it out below.
The former England captain posted the clip on his official Instagram account, showing Emma Bunton, Melanie C, Geri Halliwell and Mel B joining Victoria as they sing and dance along to their 1998 single ‘Stop’.
“I mean come on x”, Beckham captioned the video. Watch here:
Victoria Beckham turned 50 on Wednesday (April 17), and celebrated at a private club in Mayfair with over 100 guests, including Tom Cruise and Eva Longoria (via Daily Mail).
Speculation has been swirling in recent months about a possible Spice Girls reunion, with Mel B fuelling the rumours last month by hinting that the group would “definitely [be] doing something” for their 30th anniversary.
Initially, many fans speculated that they would be coming together to fill the legends slot at Glastonbury this year. However, those hopes were dashed when the official line-up dropped, confirming that the mammoth slot has been filled instead by Shania Twain.
Scary Spice was quick to react, though, stating that people shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the idea of a Glastonbury slot being on the cards.
“You don’t know that we’re not doing Glastonbury,” she said. “We are talking about doing something together – I can’t say what it is ‘cos I always get into trouble,” she added. “Loose lips sink ships and I’m not about to sink the ship.
“I’ve had the kibosh put on me this time round, but my aim is to get us back into the studio, that would be nice.”
Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a return of the ‘Wannabe’ chart-toppers, following previous reunions in 2007, 2012 and 2018. They first split in 2000.
Back in 2019, Mel B, Halliwell, Bunton and Mel C reformed without Beckham and did a 10-stop UK and Ireland stadium tour. It was the first time in 11 years that they had toured together.
The following year, there were reports of the Spice Girls embarking on a world tour in celebration of their 25th anniversary, before the COVID pandemic took hold
In 2021, rumours emerged again about the potential for another Spice Girls live comeback in 2023 that included Beckham. Bunton said she was “sure” the band would return to the stage post-COVID, while Mel C later told Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 that she wished she “could say there were shows coming,” but couldn’t.
More recently, the British girl group featured on a series of limited-edition stamps issued by Royal Mail to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
