Mel C, who is not joining the reunion along with Victoria Beckham said in a recent interview that she felt right by giving her old band’s reunion a miss. Mel C said: “It was a really hard decision to make. But once it was made I felt very relieved and that proved to me that my instinct was right.” Asked in an interview with Sunday Times whether she wished her former band mates luck in carrying on the Spice legacy, she chose her words carefully. “Of course, as a new group, I do,” she said.

If they sang Spice Girls songs I think I might be a bit sad.” No dates or official plans were announced but it was recently leaked by tabloids that the three Spice Girls had booked a date at Hyde Park for next July. The five singers l ast appeared together at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony, where they played the songs ‘Wannabe’ and ‘Spice Up Your Life’.
