Mel B says not all Spice Girls ‘honest enough’ for a band documentary to work

Melanie “Mel B” Brown is getting candid about her thoughts on a Spice Girls documentary

In an interview published with HELLO! on Friday, April 3, Mel B was asked if the Spice Girls — who will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut single and album this year — would ever take part in a documentary.

“I think we’ve all been asked and were all thinking about it at some point,” Mel B, 50, told the outlet, noting that “it has to be done in the right way.”

There’s just one caveat in her eyes: “It has to be honest — and not everybody wants to be honest.”

When asked if the girl group — which also includes 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. (The band last reunited for a string of shows in 2019 — though Beckham chose to opt out.)

“I can tell you it’s not happening,” she said.

“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.”

“I wouldn’t be sitting here if it wasn’t for me being part of the Spice Girls,” she said. “They’ve done a lot for me as a person and in my life. I’ve got fond memories, but I don’t know if I would want to go back up on stage.”
