Spice Girls launch reunion tour

Arts and Culture

The Spice Girls kicked off their reunion tour Sunday, the first time all five members of the group have toured together in almost 10 years.

Melanie Chisholm strikes a pose on Sunday. The Spice Girls were one of the biggest acts of the '90s with more than 55 million records sold. Other stops on their reunion tour include Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, London and Madrid, Spain.

Just hours before they took the stage, Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham's husband, David, gave each member of the group a special bracelet to mark their return.

Spice Girls' Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) performs with the group. When they took to the multi-level stage, the famous quintet sparkled in gold and bronze outfits by Italian designer Roberto Cavalli. They opened with their signature song, "Spice Up Your Life," followed by "Stop" and "Say You'll Be There."

"You know what, so much time has passed, so much water has gone under the bridge, it's just great to all be back together," said Melanie Chisholm, also known as "Sporty Spice."

The show was the first with all five of the original group since Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell quit to pursue a solo career in 1998. Their last album, "Forever," released in 2000 and without Halliwell, fared poorly. They broke up in 2001.

Melanie Brown is known as "Scary Spice" to her legion of fans.
