Fashion designer Beckham posted on Instagram on
Monday that she wouldn't join the other four Spice Girls on
stage again, but wished Geri Horner (Ginger Spice), Melanie
Brown (Scary Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice) and Emma
Bunton (Baby Spice) well for their six-date tour next year.
"She's very excited for us... It's going to be strange, you
know, because none of us can watch the Spice Girls on stage but
she will be able to," Chisholm said of Beckham during an
interview for Heart Radio.
Brown said the quartet would begin recording a new album next
week only for Chisholm to dismiss the idea and say her band mate
was "fibbing".
The six-date tour, announced on Monday, is the latest reunion
for one of Britain's biggest girl bands, who were formed in 1994
and sold tens of millions of albums with hit singles including
"Wannabe" and "Say You'll Be There".
Horner quit the band in 1998 and the remaining members went
their separate ways two years later after releasing the album
"Forever".
The group got back together for a tour in 2007-2008 and also
performed at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012.
