Spice Girls' fans rejoice! In celebration of the Spice Girls' 30th anniversary, a commemorative set of stamps will be made available.
In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail is celebrating the renowned girl group's milestone year with the release of fifteen stamps.
The former girl group stated in a statement, "We are so excited to be celebrated by Royal Mail, alongside some of the most iconic and influential music legends. When we formed the Spice Girls we couldn't have dreamt that 30 years later we would be the first female group to be dedicated an entire stamp collection, that's Girl Power!"
Photographs from the British group's performances between 1997 and 2012, including their 1997 Brit Awards performance and the London Olympic closing ceremony, are featured on ten of the postage stamps.
Additional stamps feature Victoria Beckham performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 2008 as part of The Return of the Spice Girls Tour, and Geri Halliwell-Horner in her trademark Union Jack attire.
The singers from the group's 1997 musical comedy film Spice World are showcased individually in the last five stamps. For the first time, a female pop trio will be honored with stamps from Royal Mail. The Beatles in 2007; Queen in 2020; and The Rolling Stones in 2022 are some more bands who have been honored with their own stamp issue.
The iconic quintet, also known as Posh, Ginger, Baby, Sporty, and Scary Spice, was created in 1994 and consisted of Victoria, Geri, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, and Melanie Brown. They separated formally in February 2001 in order to work on individual endeavors. The stamps will be on sale on January 11th.
Meanwhile, Mel B is raising expectations for a potential Spice Girls comeback in 2024. Given that this happens almost on a yearly now, fans need to just temper down their anticipation. The "Wannabe" hitmakers haven't performed live as a quintet since the 2012 Olympics, and they haven't put out a new album since 2000's Forever.
There have been rumors in the past few years suggesting that Gerri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, and Victoria Beckham are working on something.
As it happens, Mel B spilled some tea in a recent interview, suggesting that the allegations may be accurate. Mel, popularly known as Scary Spice, was questioned by Glamour about her dynamics with the other females. She concentrated on their future goals.
"We're working on a big project, which will be announced pretty soon in the middle of next year. I can't say too much about it, but it's all five of us, which is really exciting."
It's important to note that Mel has been hinting at significant intentions for a while. She is not alone, though. Victoria has even alluded to the girls' "more to come." Posh Spice has been the most elusive to reunion talks, so this is something.
