辣妹乐队重返乐坛



The Spice Girls are back, on a world tour.

Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell; those names mean only one thing, the Spice Girls, and they are back!

Seven years after splitting up, the Spice Girls have performed the first night of their comeback tour in Vancouver in Canada, and it was a sell-out success.

They are bringing the tour to the UK in the next few weeks, and they'll be in Beijing on the 10th of January.

The show is reported to make them more than £10 million each.

More than 15,000 fans watched as the girl band performed on stage for the first time in nine years.

The tour is a big affair. It's a two hour show and there are twenty two tracks. Included in the line up are their nine UK number ones as well as their new single just out 'Headlines.'

There are a staggering eight costume changes in any one show and the stage set is impressive too. As the performance begins the Girls are seen on raised platforms singing 'Spice Up Your Life.'

The first concert was a truly international event with fans coming from all over the world. One even travelled to Vancouver from Italy.

Ticket prices have soared too, with some devotees paying as much as £750 for the experience.

David Beckham made an unexpected appearance, having flown from New Zealand, where he was on tour with his football team LA Galaxy.

In the coming months, the five will also perform in Los Angeles, San Jose, Las Vegas, New York, Cape Town, London, and Madrid.

After that the group get to excite audiences in China. They will perform in Shanghai and Beijing at the beginning of January 2008.
