Just a few months ago, we learned that the Spice Girls were going to celebrate their 20 year anniversary next year by reuniting!

Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell posted pictures to their social media pages to announce the news to their fans.

Rumours quickly spread about why Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chisholm were not taking part in the reunion.

Beckham was hard at work on her fashion line and now we have learned why Mel C won’t be taking part, and her reasons are definitely understandable.

She told The Sun, that she wanted to spend more time with her 7 year old daughter Scarlet Starr, “I had to think about myself and the most important thing in my life, which is being a mother to my little girl…I had to be present for her. It was a hard decision, not only letting down the girls but all the fans who want it to happen”.

She added, “But we’re four individuals, we’ve gone on to have separate lives and careers and want different things. We always said we had to be comfortable but lots of people were getting involved and I wasn’t comfortable with the direction that it was taking.”

It would still be pretty cool if all 5 members could reunite once again on stage but Mel C’s reasons are perfectly logical. Mel C will also drop her solo album Version of Me tomorrow. One of the singles off the album is, ‘Anymore’. Watch that video below.
