Gathering to celebrate Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham’s 50th birthday, she reunited with her bandmates—Geri Halliwell-Horner, Emma Bunton, Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm, and Melanie “Mel B” Brown—for an impromptu performance of Stop. The five-piece brought their iconic dance moves to the floor for the private celebration at the London club Oswald’s.

Last month, Mel B seemingly confirmed the long-running Spice Girls reunion rumours, commenting on the British talk show Loose Women: “Oh, no, we are definitely doing something. I’m probably going to get told off, but I’ve said it. There you go. We’ll be announcing at some point later this year. Now, I’m going to be in trouble.”
Speculation of a Spice Girls reunion has circled since (at least) last May when Mel B told The Sun that the group was 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.
“We've managed to do that, so there should be an announcement pretty soon.”
In July, 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.
Earlier this year, she hinted at “really good news” supposedly coming “in a few weeks”.
“Well, I've been saying this forever, but now we're actually going to be releasing some really good news in about a few weeks that involves all five of us,” she said.
In November, Mel C was in Australia for a DJ set at the Heaps Gay Harbour Party in Sydney and responded to questions about when she’ll return to Australia. She answered that she’d be back “really soon” and “may have some friends with [her]”.
