“Of course, the world has been in such turmoil, but the plan beyond this is to get out there when it’s safe, when we can do it,” Chisholm explained. “What’s tough is there are so many artists that want to get out there, and there are only so many venues, so we’re all kind of queuing up going, ‘I want to! I want to!'”
Beckham, 47, was with the Spice Girls from their formation in 1994 until their hiatus in 2000. Although she reunited with the group for theirReturn of the Spice GirlsTour from 2007 to 2008, she’s since opted tofocus on her familyand her eponymous fashion line.

I’m 45 now and very happy to be the woman I am… I’m not trying to change, I want to be the best version of myself. Before I turned 40, I wasn’t that confident. I learned to listen to my gut feeling.”
