Spice Girls announce 2019 reunion tour without Victoria Beckham

Nov. 5 (UPI) -- The Spice Girls announced on Twitter Monday that they are embarking on a 2019 reunion tour throughout the U.K. without original member Victoria Beckham.

Melanie C (Sporty), Emma Bunton (Baby), Geri Halliwell (Ginger) and Mel B (Scary) made the announcement through a video of the group hosting a news program.

Beckham (Posh), released a statement regarding the tour and wished her bandmates well.

"Being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish my girls so much love and fun as they go back on tour, I know they will put on an amazing show and the fantastic fans past and present are going to have a wonderful time!" Beckham said.

The tour begins on June 1 at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester before wrapping up on June 15 at Wembley Stadium in London. The Spice Girls will also be performing at the Ricoh Stadium in Coventry, the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and at the Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol.

Tickets go on sale for the general public on Saturday starting at 10:30 a.m. local time.

All members of the Spice Girls reunited in February on Beckham's Instagram. The reunion led to rumors about a tour that Beckham denied until Mel B confirmed in June that the Spice Girls would be performing again.
