Spice Girls
Scary spice known as Mel B has reavled some excited news for the girl bands fans. There is a possiblity they may once again reunite to perform at this year’s London 2012 Olympics.
When asked about the possiblity Mel said  “I would never say never. I think it’s possible. I’d love it if we got back together and got to go on tour.”

And band member Geri Halliwell, also known as Ginger Spice agrees with Mel saying “Singing at the games is a great idea and would be an amazing opportunity – and it’s a sign the Brits are back. This is our time. Everything is circular and now there’s a British pop revival.”

She added: “It needs to put itself back on the map on a world stage. This is our opportunity to show that British music, which has led and dominated the world, should do, always.”
There is also a Spice Girls musical in the works. It will include many of thier songs and is about  thier successful career. This has got the girls talking a lot more as Mel explained  “We’re doing a musical about the Spice Girls right now, so we’re in contact quite a bit. But I can’t really tell you much about it.

“We’re very supportive of anything each other does. Anything that any of us does – we’re very supportive. That’s that.”
