SPICE GIRLS - SPICE GIRLS TO ANNOUNCE REUNION PLANS

Nineties pop sensations the SPICE GIRLS are set to delight fans across the world - by officially announcing their plans to reform. Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell have ended months of speculation over a possible reunion of the famous fivesome, and will confirm details of the reunion at a press conference next Thursday (28Jun07). The band are rumoured to be embarking on a 25-date world tour later this year (07), and will reportedly earn $20 million (GBP10 million) each for their part in the reunion. Earlier this month (Jun07), Beckham hinted of a possible reunion, saying, "We'll see what turns out, but between you and me, I'm really hopeful that it definitely will happen." Chisholm also revealed she had been persuaded by British rockers the Kaiser Chiefs to consider teaming up with her former bandmates. The Spice Girls split in 2001, three years after the departure of Halliwell in 1998.
