The Spice Girls celebrate their 20-year anniversary in erm…. bed, and rename the band!
Pop stars share thank you video inviting fans to join the party
THE Spice Girls have marked their 20th anniversary today by sharing a sweet video in which they confirm plans to host a huge "celebration" for fans.
Geri Horner, Melanie Brown and Emma Bunton took to social media to share a snap of themselves lying in bed together wearing party hats, and added a clip in which they tease devotees with their reunion plans. And in the clip, they captioned it 'GEM' as they appeared to rename the band.
In the video, which they posted on a new Geri, Emma and Mel website called , they thank the band's loyal fans for standing by them over the years.
The Sun exclusively revealed the trio is planning to stage a big comeback concert in London's Hyde Park next year, and they have now confirmed they are back together.
Mel B said: "We have the best fans in the whole entire world.. and we want to celebrate and have a party and when we do you're all invited..."
Geri added: "You've stood by us for 20 years and we just want to say a big thank you."
Emma said: "We've had our ups and downs but you have always been there... thank you!"
The video concludes with a written message informing fans that more information about the reunion is on its way.
The statement declared: "Happy 20th birthday to all our fans...
"This a celebration for you! We hope to tell you soon what you want, what you really really want..."
Today marks exactly 20 years since the release of the band's debut single Wannabe, which catapulted them to international superstardom back in 1996.
However, they may have to continue as a three-piece for the first time in the band's history.
It is not yet known whether absent stars Mel C and Victoria Beckham will join the reunion gig, but the three singers reportedly hope to bring them onboard by the time next summer's gig comes around.
Mel did acknowledge the special date today by posting a throwback picture on her Twitter page.
She wrote: "Happy 20th Birthday #Wannabe you haven't aged a bit!"
