NEW YORK - Pop singer turned television talent show judge Mel B has hinted at a possible Spice Girl reunion, saying she would like to “gather the troops” to mark the 1990s group's 20th anniversary next year. The band, whose popularity endures 15 years after its break-up, stormed the charts with debut single “Wannabe” in 1996 and went on to sell more than 80 million records worldwide.
“When you say it's our 20th anniversary coming up, it does make you think, ‘Oh my gosh it really has been that long',” Mel B, whose real name is Melanie Brown, said on the U.S. television “Today” show on Friday. “Hopefully we'll gather the troops around and we'll get to do something to celebrate it next year... Well, it's in my plan. I don't know about anybody else's.”
