Melanie C Reveals Spice Girls Memories & Untold Stories from Her Career | PEOPLE

Melanie C reflects on her Spice Girls journey, sharing nostalgic memories and behind-the-scenes stories from the band’s rise to global fame. Looking through a scrapbook of career moments, she recalls the audition flyer that led her to the group, missing her callback due to tonsillitis and how the Spice Girls’ signature individuality was born when they pushed back against dressing alike. She also revisits meeting the Royals, including the infamous moment Geri Halliwell broke protocol with then-Prince Charles, calling it “quite a historic moment” and admitting, “Looking back now it’s like, ‘God, cringe’… thank God we were so ballsy.”

She looks back on filming iconic music videos like ‘Wannabe’ (“Yes, I had to do five million backflips on a table”) and ‘Say You’ll Be There,’ which was shot in the Mojave Desert after intense kickboxing training, as well as making ‘Spice World’ with Meat Loaf and Richard E. Grant. Beyond the group, Melanie opens up about finding herself as a solo artist, collaborating with the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, judging ‘The Voice Australia,’ releasing new music including ‘Sweat’ and reuniting with her bandmates for their 2019 stadium tour. “It was such a joyous experience,” she says, reflecting on her career with humor and gratitude. Melanie C returns with her new album 'Sweat,' out May 1.
