Spice Girls hire Madonna tour director

The Spice Girls have hired Madonna's tour director Jamie King to help choreograph their comeback shows.

King, who has also previously worked with Prince, was reportedly the girl-power group's first pick to direct their tour.

The girls' manager Simon Fuller told The Sun: "Jamie King was our first choice. He is one the world's very best live show directors/producers and choreographers, having worked with all of the greats, including Madonna and Prince."

Talking about what King may produce, Fuller commented: "Everyone has the same vision for this show, it will be a roller coaster of fun reflecting all the things that made the Spice Girls such a huge global pop group."
