Victoria Beckham rules out Spice Girls tour - but champions group's 'positive message for young kids'

Victoria Beckham has ruled out a rumoured Spice Girls reunion tour.

The pop star turned fashion designer, 43, rejected reports the much-loved quintet would be playing live across the UK and US this summer.

It comes after the group confirmed plans to work again on new projects following a reunion lunch at Geri Horner's house in Hertfordshire last week.

"I'm not going on tour. The girls aren't going on tour," Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, told Vogue.

Asked what their plans did involve, she said: "There's something so strong in the message of what the Spice Girls stood for. What is that in the future? What does that look like? We were just bouncing ideas around. Brainstorming.

"It was so great to see the girls. We had such a fun lunch. It was really, really, really lovely. I still speak to them all individually, but for us all to get together was really lovely," Beckham added.

Asked if there could be a sequel to the film Spice World, Beckham quoted one of the group's lyrics, joking:  “Is that what you really, really want?”

“I remember that movie," she continued. "I was so upset when they made me wear that tight little army dress. And Harper Beckham (her daughter), who’s only watched Spice World once, says, ‘Mummy, I love that bit when everyone’s in the really cool clothes and you’re in the tight little army dress!’” 

Beckham didn't rule out a reunion in the future, saying the message is just as relevant today. "You know, there’s so much bad stuff going on, and the Spice Girls were about fun and celebrating individuality. I think there’s so much that the brand can do, and it’s such a positive message for young kids." 

Spice Girls style moments

After debut single Wannabe hit number one in 1996, the Spice Girls became a smash-hit success before splitting in 2000.

The quintet embarked on a three-month tour of Europe and the US in 2008 to tie in with a greatest hits release and to act as a final farewell to fans.

They emerged once more to perform at the Olympic closing ceremony in 2012 but an expected comeback in 2016 with Brown, Horner and Bunton failed to materialise.

Beckham was speaking during a preview of her autumn/winter 2018 collection, which shows in New York on Sunday.
