“I didn’t expect them to go on stage.” David Beckham is surprised by the reunion of the Spice girls.

If fans were surprised to see Victoria Beckham surrounded by her former Spice Girls co-stars, David Beckham was also very surprised. While he was participating Talk Show The American “Jimmy Kimmel Live” returned this Thursday, May 8, to this big surprise he experienced on his wife’s birthday.

“I didn’t expect them to go on stage”

The day after Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party, she posted a video on Instagram, filmed and re-shared by her husband, in which we saw the former Spice Girls perform their 1997 song ‘Stop’, which set fire to the internet. and David Beckham’s heart. “Having them all night, I didn’t expect them to come on stage,” he said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” If the Spice Girls, who officially broke up in 2001, remained friends, no one expected that all five of them would (almost) perform songs in public again. Especially after a 2019 tour where the band reformed… without Victoria Beckham.

“I’m their biggest fan.”

When asked by Jimmy Kimmel, David Beckham talks about the absence of the Spice Girls for more than 10 years. “It’s actually been 12 years since they’ve been at the Olympics for Great Britain, but it’s been over 15 years since they’ve been on stage together.” Although he did not expect them all to sing together, he still planned a tribute for them. “I planned a whole video where my kids and I recreated the ‘Mama’ video. My son, who plays guitar and sings, had a song and he sang “Mama” and suddenly all the girls stood up and I’m their biggest fan, you know? I tend not to tell my wife. I tend to tell her I like her, but she was a Spice Girl. I like that about him.” A beautiful declaration of love to the iconic British band and the woman he married 24 years ago.
