Mel B has officially shut down any hopes of a Spice Girls reunion tour to mark the group’s 30th anniversary, admitting she has “put that aside” now that she has turned 50.
Despite a landmark year for his debut single and album, the artist formerly known as Scary Spice confirmed that a return to the stage is not in the cards.
“I can tell you that’s not happening,” she said, adding that if a tour finally materialized, it would be a complete shock to her.
While the band last performed together in a series of shows in 2019 without Victoria Beckham, Mel B feels the time has passed for such a massive commitment.
She reflected on how much she loved being in her element during previous tours, but explained that she no longer wants to be the one who “buggers everyone” to get them back on tour if their hearts aren’t in it.
Even if Melanie C, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham suddenly signed up, Mel B isn’t sure she’d change her mind about performing again.
The singer was quick to point out that her decision was not due to any hard feelings, noting that she has great “respect and love” for her bandmates, whom she still considers family.
She credited the Spice Girls for her entire career and personal growth, although she remains hesitant about the physical demands of the spotlight.
“I have good memories, but I don’t know if I would like to go on stage again,” he admitted in an interview published on Friday, April 3.
While a tour is ruled out, a documentary remains a possibility, although Mel B has some very specific conditions to participate.
she said HELLO! that while the group has been contacted and everyone has considered it, any film should be handled with care.
For her, the project would only work if it were a completely truthful account of her journey.
However, there is a problem, as he noted that “you have to be honest, and not everyone wants to be honest.”
For now, fans will have to make do with those fond memories as the 30-year milestone approaches.
