Spice Girls former manager Simon Fuller ‘reveals huge plans for the girl group’s reunion’ – but with a twist

BBG News

As a devoted fan, I’ve just learned that my beloved Spice Girls’ former manager, Simon Fuller, is said to have unveiled grand plans for our favorite girl group’s comeback. However, there seems to be an unexpected turn of events.

The individual who conceived Pop Idol, now 65 years old, reportedly intends to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his debut hit, Wannabe.

Initially, it was mentioned that Victoria Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, seems to be almost ruled out. However, it now appears that he may have discovered a loophole or solution to overcome this obstacle.

Simon’s fresh concept might lead the band to perform together again on stage, using avatar technology similar to what ABBA utilized in their successful holographic performance.

According to a source, it was this individual who first conceived the concept for ABBA and their digital performance, and they believe this format could be ideal for the band.

They added: “Victoria herself mentioned that she’d support it, provided they all were in agreement. She wouldn’t stand in the way.

‘Simon believes that implementing this plan would allow the band to earn money while they sleep, and it would introduce their music to a completely new audience.’

2016 saw Simon successfully convincing legendary band ABBA to reassemble with the aim of delving into virtual reality technology, paving the way for the ABBA Voyage initiative that has captivated fans for three consecutive years at an especially constructed East London arena.

TopMob has contacted Simon’s representative for comment.   

Approximately seven years ago, Victoria and her spouse David had a disagreement with the entertainment mogul, leading them to terminate their agreements with his XIX Entertainment agency on their own terms.

The pair acquired approximately £38 million worth of Simon’s 33% share in David Beckham’s business ventures, thereby gaining complete authority over Beckham Brand Holdings, encompassing ownership in the American football team, Inter Miami.

Last week, Mel C shared her thoughts about the forthcoming Spice Girls tour, mentioning that one of the members remains hesitant and requires more persuasion before performing.

In a recent chat, she expressed her eagerness for the upcoming tour, hinting that one bandmate appeared less keen on taking the microphone once more and required additional encouragement to participate.

During an appearance on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Sporty Spice expressed that next year holds significant importance for them, and they plan to commemorate it in some manner.

‘We’re discussing what it might entail, and I personally am certain that Melanie and Emma [Bunton] would return to the stage. However, I understand that some individuals may require additional persuasion.’

In light of the disclosure that Geri Halliwell-Horner was the one needing persuasion, it lends credence to current rumors suggesting a possible meeting between Ginger Spice and Spice Girls manager Simon in Miami to discuss future plans.

52-year-old vocalist has been evasive regarding a potential comeback, expressing in a recent interview: “I adore the Spice Girls collectively, our group dynamic, and each of its unique members.

It was believed that the scandal surrounding her husband Christian Horner, who faced allegations of misconduct from a team employee, might have discouraged Geri from participating.

Given that Geri’s Red Bull F1 team boss, Christian, is preparing for the upcoming race on the schedule, and with rumors suggesting that Simon is a racing enthusiast who received an invitation from Red Bull, this seems like an ideal moment for the two of them to have a conversation.

Discussing the possibility of having all five girls perform together for the first time since 2012, Mel remarked, “It would be absolutely amazing, incredible, extraordinary. It even seems like a responsibility towards the world.

In 2019, our performances brought immense joy to countless individuals. While not everyone is a fan of the Spice Girls, many certainly are.

Currently, we find ourselves in an unusual time. The atmosphere is filled with a lot of negativity and unrest. However, let’s try to bring some excitement and positivity into our lives.

As a confidante, I jest that I might not be privy to crucial tour details because, well, I can’t seem to hold my tongue! (Mel B’s humor referring to herself)

Instead of telling Mel anything, we’ve chosen not to, as she tends to be rather talkative and might disclose information unintentionally.

‘So don’t listen to Mel B because she doesn’t know, because we’re not telling her.’ 

Ever since their official split, there’s been a flurry of speculation about them getting back together, and just recently, Mel B has expressed excitement about the possibility of another tour.

Previously, Mel C subtly suggested that the band might have a unique celebration planned for next year, commemorating the 30th anniversary of their first album, “Spice.

The girl group last toured together in 2020 as a foursome, with only Victoria missing out.

The last time Emma, Melanie Brown (Mel B), Melanie Chisholm (Mel C), Victoria Adams (Victoria) and Geri Halliwell appeared together on stage as a group was during the opening event of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
