Mel C has said she is disappointed that the Spice Girls will not be able to play at Glastonbury 2023.
Despite years of speculation and hints from Sporty Spice and her bandmate Mel B that the Wannabe singers will headline the music festival, Melanie Chisolm has now said they will not be able to all appear together at Glastonbury this year.
Mel C told The Guardian: “It’s the question I hate the most, because the answer is as disappointing to me as it is to Spice Girls fans. We would love to do Glasto. It just doesn’t fit with the current plan with the girls. We do want to get back on stage – everything is up in the air.”

That same year there were reports of a feud between Mel B and Horner, after Scary Spice claimed the pair slept together back in the 1990s.
Mel B, 47, confessed to the brief intimacy while filming an episode of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories back in March. The Two Become One singer was there to promote her new book ‘Brutally Honest’ before she touched on the pals’ romantic past.
Horner denied the story.
The band reunited to celebrate Geri Horner's 50th birthday party in November 2022, without Mel B.
Beckham, 48, shared pictures of herself partying with Horner, Mel C, 49, and Emma Bunton, 46 at Ginger Spice's lavish party.
