Geri Horner further fuels fire that Spice Girls are set to reunite for 30th anniversary
GERI Horner aka Ginger Spice has dropped a big hint that Spice Girls might reunite for their 30th anniversary.
The band – completed by Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C and Victoria Beckham – propelled to fame with their debut single, Wannabe, in 1996.
Spice Girls would go on to become one of the biggest pop groups in history and have reunited over the years, including a memorable performance at the closing ceremony of the London Olympic Games in 2012.
Now as the group is inching closer to the 30th anniversary of their formation, Geri has opened up about another possible reunion.
“My hope is we come back together as a collective. It’s more respectful to come as one,” Geri told The Times.
“There will be something. We’ll come as one. We love each other. I love them, I care about them, we want the best for each other.
“We shared something so monumental. We’ve always believed in each other, had trust in each other, which is beautiful.”
Geri is not the only Spice Girl to address the topic, with Mel C, aka Sporty Spice, also keen to do “something special.”
“It’s 30 years next year since the release of Wannabe. We have to do something special,” she said on Australia’s 2Day FM radio show.
“Obviously I can’t say too much but we are talking about things. Hopefully a nice little world tour!”
The band performed a tour in 2019, but with only four of the members as Victoria did not take part.
But another impromptu reunion happened at Victoria’s 50th birthday party last year where they came together to perform the dance routine to their hit single, Stop.
Victoria’s husband, David Beckham, was on hand in the front row to film the special moment.
Mel B, whose nickname is Scary Spice, has been the most vocal about wanting to get the Spice Girls back together and hit the road for a tour.
“I get so excited on stage with my girls, I end up running round the whole stage, I kind of lose myself,” she told Gabby Logan on Magic FM earlier this month.
When asked directly if the band will reunite, she said: “I’m hoping so. You know me, I’m always saying ‘yeah we’re going on tour tomorrow’.”
In her interview with The Times, Geri also spoke about how her marriage to F1 boss, Christian Horner and rubbished claims she’s legally changed her name amid rumours their marriage was on the rocks last year.
“That’s a load of crap,” she said.
“It’s my writing name. I haven’t legally changed anything — Horner is the name on my passport.”
Geri also revealed Christian had adopted her daughter, Bluebell, who is now 18.
“Christian formally adopted her. It’s public knowledge,” she said.
The married couple are also parents to Christian’s daughter, Olivia, 10, from a previous marriage and share son Monty, seven.
