Spice Girls to return for Diana gig?

The Spice Girls will reunite for the Princess Diana memorial concert, according to a report.
All five former members are apparently in discussions over a comeback at the Wembley Stadium gig being organised by Princes William and Harry for July.
"The girls have all been waiting for the right opportunity to come along and this is it," a source told The People. "They agreed they would only do something extra special - so what better than the Diana concert?"
He added that the drive for the idea had come from Victoria Beckham. "Victoria got the ball rolling by getting in touch with the other girls," said the source. "They have discussed it in the past few weeks and all have said 'yes'.
"If everything goes to plan they will headline the gig and sing their most famous hits such as 'Wannabe' and 'Say You'll Be There'."
A source close to the Royal Family said the Princes would be delighted if the plan worked out. "It would be a dream come true for Wills and Harry if it comes off," he said. "They have happy memories of the girls' performances from childhood. They are involved with the plan and very keen for it to happen."
The group will also release a greatest hits album around the time of the gig, according to the paper. They previously considered reforming for Live8 but reports said the idea was blocked by Mel B.
