The Spice Girls

The Spice Girls are reportedly going to reform to launch the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Simon Fuller (who was the driving force who put together The Spice Girls), told the Sunday Mirror that demand for the Spice Girls remained high. “They stand for so much in British music history and I can't think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance” he said.
The Spice Girls got together in 1994 and went on to sell more than 70 million records worldwide before splitting in 2000.
A reunion tour last year earnt them more than £40 million, Simon Fuller hinted that a final jaunt could be on the cards. “They will not want to be performing hits like 'Wannabe' in their 40s, but it's amazing how often people talk about another reunion. And I think if they do it, it’s going to be in 2012,”
I personally can’t wait if it’s true! – They’re a fantastic group!
