GIRLS TO PLAY WEMBLEY
|
THE Spice Girls are set to fulfil
a fantasy by playing a gig at Wembley Stadium.
Geri, Mel C, Mel B, Victoria and Emma want to
hold a massive outdoor party at London's biggest
venue when their American tour finishes.
They are looking at dates in early September for
the mega bash.
The girls want to get a string of other big-name
bands to support them at the show in front of
80,000 fans.
A source says: "They have always wanted to
play Wembley Stadium.
It is the ultimate venue and best way of telling
the world you have made it.
"It means a lot to them and some of them
were at Wham!'s final gig there, so it will bring
back memories. They never dreamed they'd be able
to fill it but the reaction to the dates so far
means they could easily sell it out several times
over."
The girls are playing eight sell-outs at nearby
Wembley Arena in April - but tickets were
available only to fan club members.
The stadium date will mean anyone can apply.
The gig will be an opportunity for the girls to
celebrate an amazing year which will see them
travel the world.
The Spice tour kicked off last Tuesday in Dublin
and visits nine European countries before moving
on to the U.S. in the summer,
finishing on August 31. A spokesman for the girls
said: "They are looking at a number of
options after America. The tour has got off to a
great start."
Geri said about the gigs: "Our show will be
a show - not just a gig. We hope people enjoy it
and we can't wait for our fans to see it."

MADONNA
LIKES SPICE
|
Here is some of the things Madonna
said about Spice Girls in recent interviews:
Q: What do you think of the Spice Girls and do
they remind you of yourself when you were
younger? Does it make you laugh or cry that you
are just about old enough to be their mothers?
Madonna: I like them. They do remind me of
myself. However, I could only be a mother to them
if I'd had them when I was ten.
Q: Who's your favourite Spice Girl?
Madonna: I love them all but Posh Spice is my
favourite. She's so mysterious.
- Speaking of independance and "Girl
Power", I have recently interviewed the
Spice Girls who keep talking about you.
Madonna: - I'm really very happy with that. I
adore the Spice Girls. Those girls simply want to
have fun, wear sexy clothes, without trying to be
very deep.
You've got to give them their chance and let them
the time to evolve because
they show promise. You know, me too, I was a
spice girl when I started singing."
Gottschalk: "About Girl Power - Have you
ever heard something about the Spice Girls?"
Madonna: "If I heard about them? Am I living
under a rock? Yeah, of course everybody knows
them. I was the original Spice Girl!
