Melanie C. Wrestled With Decision To Join Spice Girls Reunion

Melanie Chisholm spoke with Closer magazine about how she was convinced to sign on with the big Spice Girls reunion. “The girls approached me and said they were getting together to do a world tour, a greatest hits album and a big goodbye, and I was like: ‘Oh, no.’ It was the last thing I wanted to hear,” Mel C. admitted. “All four of them had spoken about it and it was set in stone. They basically said if I wanted to do it great but if I didn’t want to do it then they were going to do it anyway. I’d always said I’d never do it. But I didn’t want to miss out and have regrets. I also didn’t want to be the person that stopped it being the complete five. I was scared I’d be the villain. The depression and everything else was in my thoughts during the decision process of whether to do the tour. It took me a long time to decide because it was something I never ever wanted to do. It was hard, so I didn’t say yes immediately. I changed my mind every day, it was difficult. I’ve been on the straight and narrow for four years. But I had to be sensible and evaluate what I wanted to do. And I want this reunion.” Read more.
