Victoria Beckham, who starred as Posh Spice in the group, also shared the video on Instagram. “The best night ever! Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much!” she captioned the post, adding the hashtag #SpiceUpYourLife.
Mel B (aka Scary Spice) reposted the clip to her Instagram Story, writing, “About last night” and including the hashtag #tourdatescomingsoon.
The Spice Girls formed in 1994 and became a global phenomenon two years later with their 1996 debut single 'Wannabe'. The catchy track spent four weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1997 and is one of the group's nine No. 1 singles. UK debut LP Spice spent five weeks at No.1 on the Billboard 200 and 15 weeks at the summit of the Official UK Albums Chart (the follow-up Spiceworld logged three weeks at No.1 in the UK in 1997).
The group went on hiatus in 2000, returning in 2007 for a world tour and again in 2018-2019, albeit without Beckham, who has not been involved in Girls activities for more than a decade. The last time all five women shared a performance stage was at the 2012 London Olympics.
In early January, Mel B teased that the Girls were planning another reunion this year to mark three decades of empowerment. “I've been saying that forever. But now we're going to announce some really good news in about a few weeks that will involve all five of them,” he said at the time to Today. “It will be the gift that keeps on giving, without saying much about it. I'm going to get myself into so much trouble.”
