Mel B says Spice Girls biopic can’t happen over honesty concerns

Melanie Brown, known as Mel B of the Spice Girls, gets honest about why the former band can’t reunite for a documentary.

On Friday, April 3, in an interview published with HELLO!, Mel B was asked if the Spice Girls would ever reunite for a documentary. The band recently reunited to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut single and album.

"I think we’ve all been asked and were all thinking about it at some point," Mel B said in the interview, adding that the documentary "has to be done in the right way."

From her perspective, there’s one catch, that the docu-features “has to be honest — and not everybody wants to be honest."

When asked if the girl group, including Melanie "Mel C" Chisholm, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham, would embark on a reunion tour to celebrate the anniversary, Mel B shut it down.

"I can tell you it’s not happening," she said. The band last reunited for a string of shows in 2019 — though Beckham chose to opt out.

"If it does, it’ll be a shock to me, let’s put it that way. When I look at that [tour] and at the feeling it gave me, I was in my element, but there comes a time… I’m 50," she said. "You can’t be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don’t want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50."

If the other members signed up, Mel B still isn't sure it would change her mind.

However, she said that she has a great deal of "respect and love" for her bandmates, whom she considers "family."
