Melanie C Confirms Spice Girls Reunion Isn't Happening Amid Latest Tabloid Reports
Melanie C has confirmed that the Spice Girls have no immediate plans to reform amid fresh reports claiming that an anniversary reunion has been shelved at the last minute.
Rumours about a Spice Girls reunion have been rampant since the minute they finished their string of concerts as a four-piece back in 2019, with various reports over the years about whether or not we could expect to see the iconic girl group back together.
In recent history, it was heavily rumoured that the band had a number of plans to mark the 30th anniversary of their debut single Wannabe, which reached number one on both sides of the Atlantic back in 1996.
However, The Sun has reported that the band “failed to reach an agreement” and therefore these plans have all been ditched.
Melanie C told Australia’s Kiis Radio earlier this week: “July will be the 30th anniversary of Wannabe being released. And then later in the year, Spice, the first album [turns 30 too]. So, yeah, it’s a big one. And no, there is no reunion.”
“We are communicating all the time, we want to do something,” she continued. “Who knows when? But I still feel very optimistic – and I keep my fingers crossed – that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future.”
So NO Spice Girls reunion for their 30th anniv this year ???? #MelanieCpic.twitter.com/LAhqeSRWr0

Back in 2024, an unconfirmed report in the Daily Mail claimed that a fall-out between Mel B and Geri Horner had “thwarted” plans for a 30th anniversary celebration that would have included live shows and an official Netflix documentary.
The band last performed together in 2019 without Victoria Beckham, who has since expressed interest in joining her bandmates if she were able to find the time.
She last performed with the Spice Girls way back in 2012, at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.
