Melanie C Says the Spice Girls Are “Working On” Victoria Beckham for Reunion Tour
The update comes from Sporty Spice herself.
Any number of Spice Girls is better than no Spice Girls at all, even if the full set—which would comprise an entire Spice rack, if you will—would be even the best case scenario. But Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham has been the lone holdout on recent get-togethers, including the group's most recent 2019 tour.
Posh was notably absent, saying in an interview that she wanted to use the time to focus on her family. She also added, somewhat cryptically, “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.’” Taken at face value, that sure sounds like Posh is a “no” going forward.
But a new interview with Melanie Chisholm, a.k.a. Mel C, a.k.a. Sporty Spice, suggests we shouldn't write Posh off so quickly. Speaking with People’s TV show and Entertainment Tonight, Mel C discussed potential future Global Spice Routes (the name I believe should be given to all future Spice Girls world tours) and their intention to bring Posh back aboard the Good Ship Spice.

“At the moment, it's only the four of us. We're working on Victoria,” she told the program. "We would love to have her back on stage. In all honesty, I think it's gonna happen.” Yes! Bring her back!
Mel C also talked about the urge to tour again after the isolation of the last years:

While it would be amazing to see all five Spice Girls back onstage, there’s plenty to look forward to from the group in the next few months. In addition to the upcoming tour, on October 29 they’ll release Spice25, the deluxe 25th anniversary edition of their debut album.
But if they do find themselves in need of a new member—a Spice trade, perhaps—I’m certain that any of the Marie Claire editors would be more than happy to send in an audition tape. Let us know.
Cady has been a writer and editor in Brooklyn for about 10 years. While her earlier career focused primarily on culture and music, her stories—both those she edited and those she wrote—over the last few years have tended to focus on environmentalism, reproductive rights, and feminist issues. She primarily contributes as a freelancer journalist on these subjects while pursuing her degrees. She held staff positions working in both print and online media, at Rolling Stone and Newsweek, and continued this work as a senior editor, first at Glamour until 2018, and then at Marie Claire magazine. She received her Master's in Environmental Conservation Education at New York University in 2021, and is now working toward her JF and Environmental Law Certificate at Elisabeth Haub School of Law in White Plains.
