The Spice Girls have officially announced their reunion – minus one of the original line-up.
The nineties pop group will return with a 2019 stadium tour which includes a show at BT Murrayfield in Edinburgh on Saturday, June 8.

However they will do so as a four-piece, with Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham not returning to the group.
The Spice Girls announced their return via their new Twitter page on Monday afternoon at 3pm with a video.
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday at 10.30am.
In a joint statement, the Spice Girls said: “We are beyond excited to be reuniting next year for a stadium tour.
“Bringing girl power and our message of friendship and love back to the stage feels more relevant than ever. We hope everyone can join us for one big Spice Girls party.”
In a separate statement, Beckham wished her old band mates well on the tour.
She said: “Being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish my girls so much love and fun as they go back on tour, I know they will put on an amazing show and the fantastic fans past and present are going to have a wonderful time.”
The group formed in 1994 and were one of the most successful acts of that decade.
They have not performed together since the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012, and they last toured together 10 years ago.

Rumours of a Spice Girls reunion surfaced late last week ahead of a scheduled appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show this Saturday.
The Spice Girls previously performed as a four-piece for two years after Horner quit the band in 1998.
