Mel B Denies Spice Girls Reunion Rumors

Melanie Brown, known professionally as Mel B, has dismissed speculation regarding a Spice Girls reunion tour. In an interview published on April 3, 2026, by HELLO! magazine, the singer stated that a return to the stage with her former bandmates is not happening.

The comments come as the group approaches the 30th anniversary of their first single, released in the summer of 1996. While fans have expressed interest in a comeback for the milestone, Mel B clarified that any such tour would be a shock to her.

Reasons for the Decision

Mel B cited her age and the willingness of the other members as primary factors in her decision. Now 50 years old, she indicated that she no longer feels the need to pressure her former colleagues to reunite if they are not interested.

I’m 50. You can’t be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don’t want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50.

Even if the other members—Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie C, and Emma Bunton—were interested, Mel B expressed uncertainty about her own desire to return to performing. While she acknowledged the feeling of being in my element during previous tours, she admitted she does not know if she would want to go back on stage.

Addressing Documentary Rumors

Beyond the tour speculation, Mel B addressed reports that the group might be the subject of a Netflix documentary. She confirmed that all five members had been asked about the project and had considered it at one point.

However, she noted that for such a project to work, it would need to be executed in the right way and be honest. She suggested that the project is currently unlikely because not everybody wants to be honest.

Group History and Relationships

Despite the lack of professional reunion plans, Mel B emphasized that the bond between the five women remains strong, describing them as family. She credited the group for much of her personal and professional growth.

The Spice Girls have reunited for several high-profile events since their initial split, including:

• The Return of the Spice Girls Tour in 2007
• The closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics
• The opening of the Viva Forever! musical

Mel B’s recent statements align with those of Melanie C, who also confirmed that there would be no reunion to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their hit song Wannabe.

These declarations contrast with previous comments made by Mel B to Page Six in March 2026, where she had expressed a wish that the group were already on tour.
