In her October 2018 Vogue Australia interview, Victoria Beckham opened up about the revelation that led to her walking away from the Spice Girls for good. She shared, “I was with Elton John this weekend and I told him: ‘You’re the reason why I stopped the Spice Girls.'” Specifically, she explained how she felt in the audience at his Las Vegas performance, admitting, ” I remember sitting there very near to the front and looking at him singing those songs he’d sung time after time, year after year, and his passion and his enjoyment was incredible, even after all that time.”
She recalled, “And a few nights later, I was on stage at Madison Square Garden with the Spice Girls and I thought: ‘It’s almost like a waste that I’m given this opportunity. I appreciate the time I’ve had with the girls, but I don’t have what Elton can have after all these years.'”
While the stage isn’t Beckham’s favorite place to be, she did admit to a bit of FOMO during a January 2019 interview with The Guardian. She confessed, “I’m sure when I’m there and they are on stage, there will be a part of me that feels a bit left out. Because even after all this, a part of me will always be a Spice Girl.”
