Say they'll be there! The London Olympics are about to get a whole lot Spice-ier: a source confirms to Us Weekly that the Spice Girls are set to perform at the closing ceremony on August 12.
Ginger (Geri Halliwell)， 39, Baby (Emma Bunton)， 36, Sporty (Melanie Chisholm)， 38, Scary (Melanie Brown)， 37, and Posh (Victoria Beckham)， 38, are all expected to show; the group will perform two of their singles, including the 1996 fan favorite "Wannabe." (George Michael, The Who and Jessie J are also slated to perform at the event。)
Last month, the Girls - who split up in 2001 - reunited for the first time since their 2008 reunion tour to announce the creation of a West End musical based on some of their biggest hits, a show titled Viva Forever. "I loved what the Spice Girls did for women's confidence," producer Judy Craymer said during a press conference. "There's something very empowering about them."
Added the musical's writer Jennifer Saunders (who cocreated Absolutely Fabulous)， "The second I knew this project was up for grabs, I rang my agent and said I had to be involved."
上个世纪90年代当红女子组合“辣妹”的成员们都已经在各自的事业上有了很成功的发展，不过她们很可能在本届奥运会闭幕式上重聚。据悉，辣妹组合已经就出席伦敦奥运会闭幕式与组织方进行最后的讨论。上个月，包括贝嫂维多利亚在内的五位组合成员一同出席记者会，为以她们事迹创作的音乐剧《Viva Forever》宣传造势。“辣妹”组合的五位成员——维多利亚·贝克汉姆、梅兰妮·布朗、艾玛·波顿、梅兰妮·切西蒙和杰瑞·哈利维尔，将与其他当红歌手乔治·迈克尔，杰西·J等一起在8月12日的闭幕式上亮相。她们将演唱两首歌，其中一首是他们在1996年的当红歌曲“Wannabe”，当时这首歌在30多个国家中都排行第一。
