Spice Girls gear up for comeback tour

Spice Girls

The Spice Girls are gearing up to launch their much anticipated comeback tour this weekend.

Despite their first gig kicking off in Canada on Sunday, the girls have admitted that the costumes for the show aren't finished yet.

Fashion designer Roberto Cavalli is still putting the final touches to their outfits and has hinted that Geri Halliwell could be reviving her Ginger Spice style on stage in a revamped version of her famous Union Jack dress.

The group are still in rehearsals for the stage show that will see thousands of fans around the globe get a taste of 'Girl Power'.

Melanie Chisholm said: 'It's better than before in every way, we are getting on better than we ever did, having fun.

She added: 'When you are older you are most relaxed as well so we are really chilled out, I mean we are pretty petrified too, but I think we just take things in our stride a bit more now and we are just so excited, and we feel really lucky having a second opportunity at doing this.'

The Spice Girls Greatest Hits album, featuring two new songs, has been released to coincide with the reunion tour.

After kicking off in Vancouver, the Spice Girls will appear in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York, before playing 17 gigs in London between December and January.
