The Sun: Victoria to rejoin Spice Girls next year

[okgo]

Victoria Beckham has disappointed her fellow Spice Girls by saying she will not appear at Glastonbury next year to mark their 30th anniversary.

Reports had claimed that all five original members would reunite in 2024 for a headline slot at Worthy Farm. 

But a source close to Mrs Beckham told The Mail on Sunday that she wants to concentrate on her fashion label, and will not tour with the band again despite their repeated pleas.

She has not ruled out 'some kind of other celebratory appearance' – although that doesn't mean she will sing.

Mrs Beckham, 49, is due to take part in a documentary film made by Star Trek and Star Wars director J. J. Abrams which will tell the story of the band's rise to stardom in the 1990s and feature interviews and unseen material from their personal archives.

Mr Abrams and his business partner, Hollywood movie director Jason Hehir, are now shopping the project around streaming giants including Netflix.

A source said: 'Glastonbury is possible the coolest gig on the planet but Victoria won't be doing it next year. 

'She has carved herself a career as a fashion designer that she has put blood, sweat and tears into, so singing is something she has to carefully consider. 

'She has sadly been hugely ridiculed when she has sung in the past.

'She is a different person now. She looks back fondly on her years in the Spice Girls – they were very special to her – so she hasn't ruled out a one of celebration, maybe, at some point.

'And Glastonbury are not at all keen on having the group without Posh, it just doesn't have the same pull.'

The mother of four was delighted earlier this year when her fashion and beauty range revenues were up 42 per cent to £58 million.

In 2019, the band embarked on a 13-date UK tour without Mrs Beckham, nicknamed Posh Spice during her time with the group. 

At the time she told Vogue: 'It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again, but to be the one who says: 'You know, I'm not doing it because things feel different now than they used to.'

She was sounded out once again recently about returning to the Spice Girls for what would have been the first concerts with the original full line-up since the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012.

A headline slot at next year's Glastonbury had been one of the possible dates discussed and promoters were hopeful that Victoria would agree to join Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton for a performance there.

Speculation also increased after this year's festival was dominated by male headlining acts such as the Arctic Monkeys and Elton John, leading to calls for a greater female presence next year.

Welp the Daily Mail put out a story denying it (then again it's the Daily Mail.. would anyone close to her really speak to them instead of her just going to a bigger outlet if she wanted to have the final say/kill the report?) (they might want to keep the announcement a surprise too)

Oh, this would be absolutely epic! I think they should totally do it and I would sell a kidney if I have to to get some tickets. I can't imagine a more perfect show than Spice Girls at Glastonbury

Oh :(

As usual it seems like we're getting mixed messages of whether Victoria will or won't join them. 

I personally think she may do Glastonbury but it may literally be one song or a 'guest' appearance. 

 

New music isn't happening sadly but I would like it to. 

 

If they do anything they could have their old tracks remixed by new producers  - not necessarily singles that the GP know them for.  Remix some album tracks (Denying, If You Can't Dance etc) and get WOMAN out there (finally).

welp thats wack but wbk she hates performing anyways so

 

 

Screaming at the obviously paid piece to make her look like a successful fashion designer when her brands been bleeding money for years

[Maroonx]

LOL The Sun... I will wait for the official announcement if this actually happen.

[UnusualBoy]

She's clearly through with the SG, just leave her out, although I don't know what they want her for?

[mathekr]

I think they are difinitely doing Glasto next year, all of the girls have been hinting at it for quite some time.

I wouldn't hold by breath for Victoria to join the 4 girls on stage, but again Melanie C aka credible spice has said the all 5 of them would love to do it so who knows.

r this about every year. idk why she hasn't tied the spice girls and her fashion brand together. easy marketing, promotion and the sales would be through the roof. imagine a spice collection. come on victoria
