Spice Girls Reunion Tour Behind The Scenes Footage

Footage of the Spice Girls rehearsing for their reunion tour has been posted online, with Geri Halliwell joking about grilling Victoria Beckham in an outfit that looked like she had been wrapped in tinfoil.

“I’ve just run the marathon, and I refuse to put one of those horrible plasticy silvery kinda coats on,” Posh said in her tinfoil-esque outfit.

Melanie Chisholm said, “We wanted to put on the greatest show by a pop band ever seen, and that’s I think what we’ve done, with the help of all the amazing people that have been involved.”

As for the girls long schedule on the road, Victoria said, “We’ve just been working so hard. For us as well, we go home and have families as well. My husband has been away for a month, I go home, and I have three kids to look after. I was up at 5 o’clock this morning, sorting everything out so that I’m ready to take the kids to school.”

The Spice Girls sent out the following email to fans that signed up for tickets to their Buenos Aires reunion show, which was scheduled to take place January 24th:

Hi there!

First of all, we would like to thank all our fans who bought our Greatest Hist Album, it’s doing great!

As you know, the demand for our concert tickets in the USA and the UK has been really overwhelming. So, in order to meet that demand, it’s not possible for us to keep extending the tour because of our solo projects and family obligations. That means we are unable to hold a concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We’re incredibly sorry for the delay in making this annoucement, but we have been really trying to fit this date in our schedule.

To make this up for you all, we’ll be having some great competitions for our South American fans. The lucky winners will attend one of our London shows (flight and accomodation included!) and will receive an All Access Pass! Isn’t that MAJOR?

Best Wishes

Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C, and Victoria
