Formed three decades ago, the British pop group quickly captured the nation’s attention and dominated the music charts.
Victoria Adams (now Beckham), Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell (now Horner), Melanie Brown (aka Mel B) and Melanie Chisholm (Mel C) have released a video to celebrate the anniversary of their auditions.
Paired with their hit song Wannabe, the video features vintage clips of the women before they gained fame, sharing laughs and having fun while rehearsing their dances and performances.
The group is casually dressed, and they posted the footage on social media to express gratitude to their fans for their support throughout the years.
Spice Girls: 30 Years of Dreams & Endless Friendship!
Today is the 30th anniversary of the very first Spice Girls auditions! Commencing in 1994, this journey has far exceeded our wildest expectations.
We appreciate our fans for their unwavering support since the beginning. #FriendshipNeverEnds
Wannabe made its debut in July 1996 and enjoyed several weeks at the top spot in the UK. It later secured the title of best single at the Brits the next year and also received an Ivor Novello award.
Altogether, the group achieved nine UK chart-toppers and sold over 100 million records, solidifying their status as one of the most successful British acts in history.
In 2000, they took a break, only to make a triumphant comeback in 2007 with a highly successful global tour.
In 2012, there was a special appearance at the London Olympics, followed by a second reunion tour of the UK and Ireland in 2019, which Victoria Beckham did not participate in because of her fashion business commitments.
In January, a group of five women were celebrated with a special set of stamps commemorating the 30th anniversary of the band’s formation.
The video was released as Geri Horner’s husband, Red Bull boss Christian Horner, faced public scrutiny after being accused and investigated for allegations of coercive behavior, but was later cleared.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2015, were spotted strolling together and exchanged a kiss at the Bahrain Grand Prix, while Christian Horner expressed confidence in staying at the helm of the F1 team.
