In March 1994, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton participated in rounds of auditions among hundreds of others, until the group was reduced to the select few who would officially form the Spice Girls.
Their first single “ Wannabe » was released in 1996 and the years that followed saw the release of three successful albums and the film Spice World in 1997. In 2019, their reunion tour (without Beckham) allowed their “ Girl Power » to cross the United Kingdom for the first time in over ten years.
