Reason Spice Girls face 'red flag' in staging an Oasis-style comeback tour

Spice Girls formed 30 years ago - and stormed the 1990s with hit after hit, alongside Oasis's success but, while the Gallagher brothers are reuniting, the Spice Girls face challenges

The Spice Girls are unlikely to take the opportunity to make a fortune with a comeback tour - because of an alleged years-long feud, it is reported.

It is reported the band cannot find a manager capable of mediating – or who is willing to - following the Mel B's confession to having had a lesbian fling with Geri Horner. The admission on Piers Morgan's chat show in 2019 led to a fallout, which is understood to be so deep it is jeopardising Spice Girl's chances of another return - and the big money with it.

Liam and Noel Gallagher are believed to have patched old wounds in order to confirm Oasis's tour - the first performances in more than 15 years. However, The Spice Girls are said to not want their creator, Simon Fuller, involved – nor will Modest Management, the company that managed their tour in 2019, come on board.

And music industry sources say the internal tensions are a "red flag" – despite the chance for any potential candidate to make a fortune from the gigs as the band approaches its 30th anniversary.

They most recently reformed five years ago when they played 13 dates in the UK and Ireland, starting at Croke Park, Dublin, to a sell-out crowd of more than 74,000, before finishing at Wembley Stadium – a tour that earned them £70million in ticket sales. But such scenes are unlikely to repeat themselves, it's understood.

A source said: "Managing all five Spice Girls is probably the toughest job in the business, but it is the fallout between Mel B and Geri that makes the job seem like a nightmare.

"There is always something going on between them – deep down they love one another, but Geri just can't understand why Mel had to tell the world about their fling. It has caused a whole load of drama, so they are struggling."

Another huge task facing any wannabe manager is to coax Victoria Beckham out of pop music retirement. Despite the pleas from the bandmates, Victoria is adamant she will never perform with them again, Mail Online reports.

One music insider told the publication: "Victoria is the pull. The other girls have reunited before and it has been great, but Posh is the final part of the jigsaw... She is simply not budging. She loves the girls dearly and is thrilled that they want to get back together, but it's not for her."

But Posh did join her bandmates on stage for the closing ceremony of London 2012. All five had performed together for The Return Of The Spice Girls Tour - but that was back in 2007, some 17 years ago.
