Spice Girls fans were in a frenzy last week when it was reported that the band would be reuniting for the 2024 Glastonbury Festival – and had managed to lure back Victoria Beckham to perform for the first time in 15 years.
However, just hours later, sources close to the designer shot down the claims, saying the 49-year-old wanted to concentrate on her fashion label and had no plans to step into her old role of Posh Spice.
The source said, “She has sadly been hugely ridiculed when she has sung in the past. She is a different person now. She looks back fondly on her years in the Spice Girls – they were very special to her – so she hasn’t ruled out a one-off celebration, maybe, at some point.”
The announcement resulted in a barrage of criticism for the mum-of-four, as one fan sniped, “Thank God for that, she never sang anyhow.” While another asked, ”How did she ever get in the group in the first place?” Another added, “She never really sang in the Spice Girls. She was there as window dressing.”
Now, a source has exclusively told new that Victoria has been upset by the speculation and subsequent backlash, which have brought back painful memories for her.
