Elton John has some explaining to do to millions of Spice Girls fans around the world…
In an interview with Vogue Australia, Victoria Beckham revealed that the Rocket Man singer is the reason she decided to leave the UK’s number 1 girl band and won’t be part of the planned reunion.
“I was with Elton John this weekend and I told him: ‘You’re the reason why I stopped the Spice Girls,’” she said.
“I went to see him in Vegas doing The Red Piano, where David LaChapelle curated the most incredible show with him, and I remember sitting there very near to the front and looking at him singing those songs he’d sung time after time, year after year, and his passion and his enjoyment was incredible, even after all that time,” she said. “And a few nights later, I was on stage at Madison Square Garden with the Spice Girls and I thought, ‘It’s almost like a waste that I’m given this opportunity. I appreciate the time I’ve had with the girls, but I don’t have what Elton can have after all these years.’ There was nothing there, other than that my kids were in the audience and I wanted them to see mummy doing the Spice Girls.”
Oh, Elton, who do you think you are.
