The Spice Girls tell of excitment at reunion
Posted on June 29, 2007 - Spice Girls, Music
The band announced they were reuniting yesterday (28.06.07), six years after
they finally split, for a world tour in December. They are also releasing a
greatest hits album.
Geri Halliwell, 34, insists the reunion is going to be like a “one night
stand”, and says the girl group want to “celebrate the past” and are not
getting back together for good.
Geri, who left the band in 1998, told BANG Showbiz: “It’s a bit like a one
night stand - it’s not forever.
“We want to celebrate the past, enjoy being together and say thank you to
our fans.”
She added: “It feels like ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and I’ve got
the golden ticket! It’s so exciting. It was like I got divorced and now I
have fallen in love with my ex-husband again.”
Victoria, who has three sons with soccer ace David Beckham, insisted: “There
is a big difference between celebrating the past and getting back together.
We are here to do a tour and that’s all.
“Our priority is our families. We are doing this for our kids so they can
see what we do. We are going to have a huge crèche for all the children. I
am so excited about this tour - I might get to be the cool one in the family
for once!”
The girl band also said they can’t wait to don their famous old outfits
again.
Mel B revealed: “I will be wearing leopard skin and Geri will have her Union
Jack dress on.”
Mel C added: “I want to wear my tracksuit again. I will be going down the
market looking for a shell suit. Hats off to our characters.”
Victoria insists the band have still retained their old images and their
style hasn’t changed since they split in 2001.
She said: “We didn’t know what we would all be wearing, but we look the same
as we used to. We still have the same images and they haven’t really
changed.”
Emma Bunton added: “It’s just a grown-up version.”
The Spice Girls are set to kick off their 11-date world tour in Los Angeles,
followed by shows in Las Vegas, New York City, Buenos Aires, London,
Cologne, Madrid, Beijing and Sydney.
