Mel B says Spice Girls documentary stalled over need for honesty

Mel B reveals a Spice Girls documentary is delayed as it requires complete honesty from all members. The group discusses a 30th-anniversary world tour.

"It has to be done in the right way, and it has to be honest - and not everybody wants to be honest. - Mel B"

London, April 6

Singer Mel B has revealed why a documentary on iconic pop group Spice Girls has not materialised yet, saying the project requires complete honesty from all members, according to Deadline.

With the group's 30th anniversary approaching, fans have been eagerly awaiting a reunion or special project. However, Mel B shared that while discussions have taken place, challenges remain.

"I think we've all been asked and were all thinking about it at some point. But it has to be done in the right way, and it has to be honest - and not everybody wants to be honest," she said in a recent interview, as per the outlet.

The comments come after Mel B previously hinted at a possible reunion on social media, sparking excitement among fans of the chart-topping group.

Fellow member Melanie C also acknowledged the milestone, noting that 30 years have passed since the release of their debut single Wannabe in 1996. She hinted that the group has been discussing ways to mark the occasion, including the possibility of a world tour.

"It's 30 years next year since the release of 'Wannabe'. We have to do something special," she said on an Australian radio station. "Obviously, I can't say too much, but we are talking about things. Hopefully, a nice little world tour," as per the outlet.

Meanwhile, Geri Horner expressed hope for a full reunion, emphasising that it would be "more respectful" for all five members to come together as a collective, according to Deadline.

The last time all five members, including Victoria Beckham, performed together was at the London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony. Subsequent reunions, such as the 2019 tour, took place without Beckham, according to Deadline.

Mel B is right. What's the point of a documentary if it's just a PR exercise? If they're going to tell their story, they should tell the whole truth - the fights, the fallouts, everything. That's what fans actually want to see.

Honestly, after 30 years, it's okay if they've grown apart. Not every band needs a forced reunion. Their music will always be iconic. Maybe they should just celebrate the legacy and move on. No need for drama.

It sounds like Victoria Beckham is the main hurdle for a full reunion. If she doesn't want to be part of it, that's her choice. But Geri has a point - it's more respectful to have all five or not do it at all. The magic was in the complete group.

A world tour would be amazing! But please, if they come to India, don't just do Mumbai or Delhi. Come to Bangalore or Hyderabad too! The 2012 Olympics performance was epic, we need more of that energy. 🤞

I appreciate the honesty from Mel B. In our Bollywood industry also, we see so many sanitized biographies. Real stories have conflicts. Maybe they should do the documentary first, clear the air, and then see about a tour. One step at a time.
