Glastonbury fans gutted as huge group dash hopes they will play festival – but stars insist reunion IS still on track
GLASTONBURY fans have been left gutted as Mel B dashed hopes the Spice Girls will play at the festival.
Reports had claimed that all five members of the iconic girl band would be reuniting at the legendary music festival in 2024.
But Mel, 48, has poured cold water over all the hype.
While she insisted there will “definitely” be a Spice Girls reunion, she admitted that it probably won’t be at Worthy Farm.
She told Olivia Attwood on her So Wrong It’s Right podcast, “I don’t think its going to be at Glastonbury but its definitely going to happen.”
Just a couple of days ago, Mel walked off the set of a U.S. talk show after being quizzed about the Spice Girls.
During an interview on The Today Show, Scary Spice teased a possible reunion with Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham and Mel C.
But fearing she had spilled too many beans, she immediately stormed off.
During the chat with hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, Mel confirmed that all five Spice Girls are “working on something really good” and appeared to accidentally reveal that fans will get the chance to see the girl group live again.
The star said that “fans are going to be really happy” with what they have planned, adding that an announcement would be made “soon”.
Host Jenna asked her: “Since you were on our show last time, y’all put out a throwback video, there’s a lot of rumours, there’s little Easter eggs everywhere, it’s time for you to just break the news!’
Mel then replied: “Well, I can’t because I always get told off because I’m the blabbermouth, but I think I’ve said this to you before: us five are working on something that is gonna be announced soon.”
“Are we going to be satisfied?’ Jenna then asked as Mel responded: “Very, very, very,” before adding: “This is gonna be really good and the fans are gonna be really happy about it.”
Things then started to get really interesting when Jenna asked: “Can we go see you on tour?”
To which Mel replied: “You’re gonna be able to…” before stopping herself mid-sentence and covering her mouth with her hands.
The singer then yelled: “Ooohhhhh I’m gonna get in trouble! I’m not saying anything!”
Mel then jumped out of her seat and walked off as she told the hosts: “Okay bye!”
This isn’t the first time Scary Spice has given away details about a possible reunion.
Earlier this month, she told the Loose Women panel: “We are definitely doing something… I’m probably going to get told off but I’ve said it, there we go! We are doing something this year. I’m in trouble now….’
Mel B I adore her and she has this thing, and it can sometimes get us into hot water.
Mel C AKA Sporty Spice
However, Mel C recently tried to play down any rumours of a Spice Girls reunion.
Speaking on Nick Grimshaw‘s podcast, she said: “Mel B I adore her and she has this thing, and it can sometimes get us into hot water.
“Of course we’re always talking, we’d love to do something else.
“I’d love to get back on stage with the girls but everybody wants to do something a little bit different or in a different way, so it’s just trying to get everyone on the same page at the same time.”
The last time the Spice Girls reunited with all five members was at the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony.
In 2019, the band headed out on a UK stadium tour but without Posh Spice.
