Will she, won’t she?! Of course, we’re talking about whether Victoria Beckham is going to join the Spice Girlson their comeback tour. Duh!
Well, it seems like we still don’t know - because, over the weekend, there were very conflicting reports being circulated.
Hope was ignited when the Daily Starreported that VB will join the girls on stage for one of the dates, as a kind of guest apperance. A source close to the group told the Daily Star Sunday, ‘It’s looking likely that it will be for the second gig at Wembley on June 14. She has made it clear she doesn’t want the pressure of having to sing live.’ The source added, ‘But she’s open to the idea of a dance routine. Another option is some sort of catwalk performance in honour of her fashion business.’ (Really!?)
But, look to The Sun, and those hopes would have been dashed. ‘Victoria Beckham dashes hopes of Spice Girls reunion by changing job title from singer to fashion designer,’ their headline reads, explaining that the 45-year-old has switched her role from singer to fashion designer on papers for Spice Girls Limited. An insider told the paper, ‘It is as though she’s literally drawing a line under her time as a performer and saying she’s never go on stage again. She is desperate to succeed as a fashion designer.’
