The Spice Girls’ 30th anniversary reunion is reportedly not happening afterall, with those involved failing to reach an agreement.

It’s been widely reported that Melanie C, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Geri Halliwell-Horner, and even Victoria Beckham had been planning to reunite the beloved 00s girl group in honour of their 30th anniversary.

But it seems the plans have now been abandoned with Mel C, 52, saying in an interview on Australia’s KIIS Radio: ‘No, there is no reunion.

‘We are communicating all the time. We want to do something – who knows when.

‘But I still feel very optimistic and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future.’

Additionally, The Sun reports: ‘They failed to reach an agreement and plans for a comeback tour in 2026 have been ditched.’

While the group won’t be performing anytime soon, they did reunite recently to support Victoria for the release of her new Netflix series.

Geri Halliwell-Horner, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Chisholm, with whom she was part of the Spice Girls from 1994 until their split in 2000, were all at the premiere.

But not in attendance was their bandmate Mel B, who Victoria detailed having a difficult moment with years ago in her documentary.

In one scene reflecting on her time with the biggest-selling girl group of all time, Victoria spoke about an interaction during their 2007 Return of the Spice Girls tour.

‘One of the girls actually said to me – and it did upset me – it was Melanie B who said to me, “Don’t forget where you come from”,’ she told the camera.

‘I have never forgotten where I’ve come from. I’ve never ever forgotten that Posh Spice is the reason why I’m sitting here. She might have been grumpy, but she was actually great,’ she added.

Speaking about returning to performing during that time, Victoria said that while it was ‘good to be back’, that tour made her realise she ‘didn’t belong on stage’.

As it stands, it seems it will be some time before Spice Girls fans can expect to see them in concert again.
