LONDON: British pop band spice girls said on Monday they would reunite for a British tour in June although there was no mention of whether Victoria Beckham would take part.
“Breaking Spice news… Tickets on sale Saturday 10.30am,” the band said on Twitter.
The British 1990s pop phenomenon — Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Horner — previously reunited in February at Horner’s house north of London, along with their former manager Simon Fuller.
The best-selling female group ever had released photographs of the gathering.
The girl group had sold 85 million albums worldwide.
Only two of their 11 singles failed to reach number one on the British charts, while their first three singles all hit the US top five.
The Sun newspaper reported that they were considering television projects in China, a new TV talent show, endorsement deals and a compilation album celebrating their greatest hits.
The five-piece, which formed in 1994, split in 2000 but reunited for a world tour in 2007-2008.
They got together again to perform at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony and were last all in the same room later that year for the launch of the Spice Girls musical “Viva Forever!”.
An expected comeback in 2016 with Brown, Bunton and Horner failed to materialise.
