Spice Girls To Reform For 2012 London Olympics?
November 2, 2009 by Dave Parrack
September saw two of the Spice Girls, in the form of Mel B and Geri Halliwell, teasing that the group could be about to announce plans to get together. Victoria Beckham AKA Posh Spice later denied knowledge of any plans. But Simon Fuller, the man who engineered the Spice Girls’ rise to fame, thinks there could be something in the offing.
Fuller is the former manager of the Spice Girls and current boss of talent agency 19. He thinks the 2012 Olympic Games, due to held in London, would be the perfect venue for the second comeback of the Spice Girls.
He told The Mirror:
“They stand for so much in British music history and I can’t think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance. The demand for them as a band is as strong as ever. I think if they do it, it’s going to be in 2012.”
Would they really be discussing getting back together for the Olympics in 2012 already, in 2009? I doubt it very much. However, if they have been approached to be a part of it then maybe they’ve had an initial discussion about it. Which would explain why Mrs. Beckham isn’t aware of the idea.
I wouldn’t mind seeing the Spice Girls playing some part of the 2012 Olympics. As Fuller says, they are definitely an essential part of the UK, or at least they were when together. The problem is I just know they’d want to make the most of the publicity and release new material and tour on the back of it all. Which, after the last time, fills me with dread.
