So tell me what you want, what you really, really want, Spice Girls fans, and one of those things is likely seeing the group perform together again. The quintet delivered just that during Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party last night.
Living up to her Spice Girls name, the Posh birthday celebration held at private members club Oswald’s in London was a celebrity-filled affair attended by Tom Cruise, Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, and more as Today reports.
During the birthday bash, all five of the members got together to sing “Stop,” which was captured by Beckham’s husband David Beckham on video. He filmed his wife and her fellow Spice Girls Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, and Emma Bunton dancing and singing along to the single from their 1997 sophomore album, Spiceworld.
David Beckham captioned the clip he shared on Instagram with “I mean come on x” and tagged each of the group members. The birthday Spice Girl also shared the video on her Instagram account. “Best night ever! Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much! #SpiceUpYourLife,” Victoria Beckham wrote.
The surprise performance comes as the quintet mark their 30th anniversary. Last month, they celebrated 30 years by sharing footage from their first Spice Girls auditions back in 1994, soundtracked to their 1996 debut single “Wannabe.” The group had a reunion tour in 2019, but Beckham did not join the outing. The last time they all performed together publicly was at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012. Earlier in the year, Britain’s Royal Mail issued commemorative postage stamps in tribute to Spice Girls’ 30th anniversary.
