The DeadMotleySexMaidens... we scour the globe for Signs of the Apocalypse, so you don't have to.Today, Wednesday, June 27: Spice Girls expected to announce reunionLONDON (Reuters) - The Spice Girls are expected to announce a reunion tour on Thursday, ending months of speculation about the five-member band that brought "girl power" to the British music scene.
The band sold around 55 million albums and topped charts around the world before Posh, Scary, Sporty, Baby and Ginger decided to go it alone -- with varying degrees of success.
Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell left the group in 1998 and the other four have pursued solo careers and jobs outside music since their last album "Forever" in November, 2000.
"The Spice Girls are set to make an official announcement to the world regarding future plans on Thursday 28th June," their management said in a statement last week.
"No further information can be given at this time but given the band's unique history, you can be sure to expect the unexpected," Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment said.
In a recent radio interview, Melanie Chisholm, known as "Sporty Spice," said she admired boy band Take That, who have enjoyed huge success since reforming, even without the help of former member Robbie Williams.
British media report that the Spice Girls stand to make millions of pounds each from the reunion tour, which is expected to be accompanied by a new album and a television documentary.
