The Spice Girls’ Musical History

The Spice Girls burst onto the pop scene in the mid-90s, pumping out poppy girl power bops like “Wannabe,” “Say You’ll Be There,” “Stop,” and more. The Spice Girls’ signature brand of brassy, in-your-face lyrics, and stage performances led them to become the best-selling girl group of all time, with products, merchandise, tours, and even a feature film, “Spice World,” inundating the 90s music scene.
Halliwell’s departure in 1998 caused a media stir and made international headlines, leaving fans devastated. The group continued as a foursome before an indefinite hiatus in 2000. They reunited in 2007 for a tour, Return of The Spice Girls, which included Halliwell. They also performed together at the 2012 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony.

The group would continue to reunite, sometimes with all members, throughout the 2010s. In 2018, they announced another reunion tour, but without Beckham, who cited commitments to her fashion line as the reason she didn’t participate.
Their latest impromptu concert marked the first time the five performed together in years, but Mel B. recently teased in interviews that there will be “good news” coming for the group.

Peltz-Beckham also posted a photo of the Beckham family to her stories, with the caption, “I’m so sad I’m not there to celebrate you and hug you! Sending all my love from me and Naunni. I miss you all so much!”
