In June, Brown told Hoda Kotb on the “Today” show said that she and her bandmates “are going to be doing performances together, for sure.”
Notably, Brown rejected rumors that Beckham wouldn’t be part of the tour in March and again in the interview with Kotb.
Brown poked fun at Beckham this year for Halloween, dressing as her bandmate alongside a lookalike of soccer star husband David Beckham with a sign reading: “No I am not going on tour.”
The David Beckham standin held a sign that read: “Please, please, please do it for the Spice Girls fans.”
Brown didn’t address tensions with Posh, but did say she thought Beckham would find the Halloween outfit funny, as there’s “a bit of a love-hate relationship there,” according to the BBC.
An official Spice Girls Twitter account was launched in October 2018 and appears to be a hub for new spicy happenings, along with the group’s website.
