Spice Girls gig sells out in 38 seconds - Oct 2 2007
The Spice Girls’ London comeback concert sold out in just 38 seconds, the show’s promoters have said.
More than one million people in the UK registered for the December 15 show.
Those who successfully registered for the 02 Arena concert were sent an email or text message last night saying they could snap up their tickets this morning (Monday).
Now three new London dates, on December 16 and 18 and January 2, have been added to the tour.
Tickets for the December 15 gig are already appearing on eBay, asking fans for as much as £750.
Scary, Sporty, Ginger, Posh, and Baby Spice launch their world tour in Vancouver, Canada on December 2.
They will also perform in cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, San Jose, Shanghai, Madrid, Beijing and Cape Town.
Their concerts will be the first time the Spice Girls have been on stage together since Geri Halliwell quit in May 1998.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes are now offering odds of 1-4 that the Spice Girls will have a No 1 single by the end of the year, and 3-1 that the group records this year’s Christmas No 1.
Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said: "The 38-second sell out proves that the girls are still very much in demand."
The December 15 concert is the fastest-selling show at The 02.
A computer selected 20,000 of the million applications at random and emailed the fans.
In the US, Spice Girls tickets are selling for as much as 2,000 dollars (£1,000) on eBay.
Bono writes Spice Girls tune? - Oct 1 2007
They might seem an unlikely pairing but it seems U2 legend Bono has penned a song for pop’s latest comeback kids The Spice Girls.
The song is apparently due to be included in the girl band’s forthcoming album and they will perform the track on their world tour later this year, the Daily Mirror reports.
A source told the paper: "It might seem unusual with the Spice Girls’ pop roots and the much more rockier work of Bono but it works."
The insider added: "There’s been a bit of unease as to how the album will perform and if there’s still a solid Spice Girls’ fanbase out there. However Bono’s involvement has lifted the whole camp and he’s delighted to have been asked to add his experience."
Although the tune hasn’t yet been named, the source was adamant that Bono could turn his hand to any musical style.
"Bono is a brilliant musician and is up for the challenge. Expect the unexpected."
It is thought the new Spice Girls album could be out as early as November 5.
Spices get Versace touch - July 30 2007
Donatella Versace is reportedly designing the Spice Girls’ outfits for their comeback tour.
An insider told The Sun that the Italian designer has already drawn up sketches of the risque outfits.
The source said: "Donatella was a big fan of the girls back in the day and as soon as she heard that a reunion was on the cards she submitted her ideas.
"There will be several different ’looks’ for each of them and the clothes will be worth well over £200,000.
