'The girls aren’t going on tour': Victoria Beckham rules out a rumored Spice Girls reunion tour after band's banner meeting sparks speculation
Victoria Beckham has ruled out a rumored Spice Girls reunion tour.
The pop star-turned-fashion designer, 43, rejected reports the much-loved quintet would be playing live across the U.K. and U.S. this summer.
It comes after the group confirmed plans to work again on new projects following a reunion lunch at Geri Horner’s house in Hertfordshire, England last week.

'I’m not going on tour,' Victoria told Vogue Saturday while at New York Fashion Week. 'The girls aren’t going on tour.'
Asked what their plans did involve, she said that 'there’s something so strong in the message of what the Spice Girls stood for,' leading the five members to brainstorm about potential projects.
'What is that in the future?' she said. 'What does that look like? We were just bouncing ideas around.'
Victoria, known as Posh, said 'it was really, really, really lovely' to reconnect with her musical colleagues: Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), 42, Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), 42, Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), 44, and Geri Horner (Ginger Spice), 45.

'It was so great to see the girls,' she said. 'We had such a fun lunch ... I still speak to them all individually, but for us all to get together was really lovely.'
After debut single Wannabe hit number one in 1996, the Spice Girls became a smash-hit success before splitting in 2000.
The quintet, a 90s pop staple, embarked on a three-month tour of Europe and the US in 2008 to tie in with a greatest hits release and to act as a final farewell to fans.
They emerged once more to perform at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, but an expected comeback in 2016 with Brown, Horner and Bunton failed to materialize.
An insider told The Mail on Sunday earlier this month that Beckham had a change of heart about a potential comeback after the lunch rest of the group, who are slated to reconvene in Los Angeles this spring to continue to streamline details over a potential relaunch.
'Victoria was so cold on singing and performing with the Spice Girls again but Friday’s meeting made her remember the good times,' the insider said. 'The girls sat together laughing and remembering the fun and special times and she is now very much in.'
