In December 2022, Melanie C revealed that she would no longer be playing a New Year’s Eve concert in Poland, likely due to conflicting politics surrounding the country’s treatment of LGBTQIA+ people. At the time of writing, Poland hasn’t legalised same-sex marriage and doesn’t recognise civil unions.
Melanie C wrote in a statement, “In light of some issues that have been brought to my attention that do not align with the communities I support, I’m afraid I will no longer be able to perform in Poland as planned on New Year’s Eve.”
Her New Year's Eve performance would've been televised on Poland's public broadcaster TVP, which has come under fire in recent years for fueling propaganda against LGBTQIA+ communities, which would have gone directly against Melanie C's beliefs and activism.
In 2021, she was named the Celebrity Ally at the British LGBT Awards. In many areas of Poland, the country has reportedly established "LGBT-free zones" that exclude citizens.
Earlier this year, Mel B indicated that the OG five Spice Girls are back together and working on a new project. “It’s about fucking time,” she commented, per Perth Now.
Mel B added, “We are doing something together as the Spice Girls, and it has always been me kind of championing everybody together. This time, it was actually Victoria [Beckham] that was saying, ‘Come on, let’s all do something.’
“So we have got something in the works, which will be announced soon.”
This reformation isn’t a complete surprise, as in May, Mel B told the British publication The Sun that the group were planning something special.
“We're just finishing off perfecting what we're going to be doing together, all five of us, but it's going to be something that the fans are really going to love,” she said.
The Spice Girls – Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, and Victoria Beckham became the most popular band in Britain since The Beatles after forming the group in 1994.
