The London Olympics Committee is hoping to Spice up your life.
The Spice Girls, London's most iconic musical girl group, is set to reunite to perform together at the closing ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic games. According to the Telegraph, the five singers, Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) and Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), will join other pop stars George Michael, The Who, Take That and Jessie J for the event on August 12.
