Spice Girls shot to fame in 1996.

BEIJING, May 27-- Multi-million selling British group the Spice Girls are to reunite to play at the Live Aid II charity concert in London in July, a report said.

The group, who last performed as a five-piece in 1998 and finally disbanded in 2001, would come together specifically for the concert, a re-run of the original Live Aid concert of 1985, the Sun newspaper said.

Comprising the disparate talents of Victoria Adams-- now Beckham following her marriage to the England football captain-- Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton, the Spice Girls shot to fame in 1996.

Scoring nine No. 1 hit singles in Britain, they also achieved massive success in the United States and dozens of other countries.

Assembled by a management team who placed an advertisement for band members, the Spice Girls were known as much for their personalities-- each had a nickname, such as"Posh Spice" for Adams-- as their generally throwaway music.

Rumours of a reunion have circulated for months, especially now that the solo careers of each of the five members appear to have largely ground to a halt following far more mixed success.

The band would be"honored" to take part in Live Aid II, an unnamed showbusiness source told the Sun.

"The dance routines may be a bit rusty, but they'll put on a great show," the source added.
