Girls Spice up the closing ceremony

THE Spice Girls reunited to perform at the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympics on Sunday night.
The 90s girl band - made up of Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Mel C - arrived individually on the top of five London taxis while belting out their hits ‘Wannabe’ and ‘Spice Up Your Life’ in the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, east London.
It was the first time the five-piece had performed together in over four years and was one of the most eagerly-anticipated parts of the Symphony of British Music section in the ceremony.
The section opened with Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ rocking the stadium before a specially-made video of late Beatles legend John Lennon singing his classic ‘Imagine’ was played while a children’s choir sang along inside the venue.
George Michael than gave his first performance since recovering from pneumonia last year by belting out ‘Freedom’ and new single White Light.
Kaiser Chiefs performed a version of The Who’s ‘Pinball Wizard’ before a montage of David Bowie hits were played, which saw supermodels including Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell strut down a runway to his classic ‘Fashion’.        –ES
