Victoria Beckham isn’t reuniting with the Spice Girls, actually… (Picture: Shutterstock)
Victoria Beckham will not be reuniting with the Spice Girls at Glastonbury next year and we need 3-5 business days to process this great loss.
Reports originally claimed that all five members of the Wannabe group were set to reunite for a headline slot at the Worthy Farm festival in 2024 to mark the group’s 30th anniversary.
Naturally, Spice Girls fans were beside themselves with excitement, especially after band members themselves have teased getting back together in recent weeks, and even saying they ‘all’ want to do Glasto.
However, we have to crush your dreams.
A source close to Posh Spice has now insisted that she would prefer to focus on her fashion label.
Although, luckily for us, Victoria, 49, has not ruled out a separate ‘celebratory appearance’ with bandmates Geri Horner, Mel B, Melanie C and Emma Bunton – but she is not necessarily going to sing.

An insider told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: ‘Glastonbury is possibly the coolest gig on the planet but Victoria won’t be doing it next year.
‘She has carved herself a career as a fashion designer that she has put blood, sweat and tears into, so singing is something she has to carefully consider.
‘She has sadly been hugely ridiculed when she has sung in the past.’
They added: ‘She is a different person now. She looks back fondly on her years in the Spice Girls – they were very special for her – so she hasn’t ruled out a celebration, maybe, at some point.
‘And Glastonbury are not at all keen on having the group without Posh, it just doesn’t have the same pull.’

Victoria is due to take part in a documentary made by Star Wars director J.J. Abrams that will tell the story of the group’s rise to fame in the 1990s and will feature interviews and unseen material from their personal archives.
The star did not join the Spice Girls on their UK tour in 2019 and confessed that her choice not to take part required a lot of ‘courage’.
Victoria told Vogue: ‘It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again, but to be the one who says, “You know, I’m not doing it because things feel different now than they used to”.’
The last time VB performed with the girls was during a one-off performance at the London Olympics in 2012.
Sources have assured, though, that ‘over the past six months there’s been more contact as a five than at any time’ since their 2012 gig.

Now, Victoria can’t exactly blame fans for getting their hopes up about a reunion, given that Mel B recently addressed the speculation, telling Metro.co.uk: ‘I would love to but I’m just one of five. So we’ve got to figure that out.’
Teasing reunion plans, she added: ‘I mean, we’re constantly in talks.
‘There is something that we’re going to be doing all five of us, but nothing’s going to be announced just yet.

‘But it will be pretty soon!’
She elsewhere confirmed they are ‘planning on releasing a statement’ about Victoria rejoining the group once again.
So, what’s the truth, Mel?
