Friendship never ends for the Spice Girls, as they look back on the auditions that landed them in what would become the biggest girl group of all time. To mark their 30th anniversary celebration, the group shared archival footage from the audition process, along with a message to their fans.

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.
