Victoria Beckham Joins Spice Girls Reunion for 50th Birthday Bash
Former Spice Girl Graces the Stage on 50th Birthday
LONDON—Victoria Beckham has long refused to take part in any Spice Girls reunion and shot down rumors just this month that the band would get back together for a one-off show.
However, the legendary pop star—who helped to transform her soccer-playing husband into a global icon—decided to make her 50th birthday one to remember by surprising fans and joining her former bandmates on stage once again.
An Exclusive and Star-Studded Affair
The event, held in London, was one of the most exclusive shows of the year. Approximately 40 guests, including A-list celebrities like Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria, and Gordon Ramsay, were reportedly invited to the black tie party, held at the renowned members club Oswald’s.
David Beckham Captures the Moment
David Beckham, Victoria’s beloved husband, turned cameraman to capture the ecstatic moment Victoria joined Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C, and Emma Bunton on stage to sing their iconic ’90s hit ‘Stop.’ In a clip posted on Instagram, Beckham expressed his amazement, with his mouth wide open in shock, captioning it: “I mean come on x”
Despite Victoria appearing somewhat reluctant to sing herself, the clip showed that Posh, Ginger, Scary, Sporty, and Baby still had the moves, effortlessly performing the choreography they were renowned for in the ’90s.
A Trial Refusal and Fond Memories
Previously, Victoria had steadfastly declined offers to reunite with the band, even when they embarked on a successful reunion tour in 2019. The last time they all performed together was at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012.
Rumors had been circling regarding the possibility of the Spice Girls playing the “legends” slot at Glastonbury, to which Victoria responded during an interview, “We do have a group chat. I do speak to all the girls. It would be lovely for us to do something to celebrate—a dinner or a lunch—and reminisce. But yes, it will not be any more than that.”
It seems that recent years have seen the former band members mellowing, with reports of feuds between Victoria and Mel B, and more recently, Mel B and Geri, becoming a thing of the past. The Sun reports that “there wasn’t a dry eye in the house” on Saturday night as the bandmates, alongside a handful of A-listers and the growing Beckham clan, came together to reminisce, pay tribute, and share a few jokes about Victoria.
