It was a different sort of homecoming for the Spice Girls when they
performed in front of a sold-out crowd at the Staples Center.
The show Wednesday marked the first time that two of the '90s
British-pop quintet's members joined longtime bandmates in Los Angeles
since permanent moves out west.
"I love it here," explained Victoria Beckham (aka "Posh Spice"), who
relocated from Spain this past summer with soccer-superstar husband
David Beckham and their three sons.
"It's exciting, because we have friends here, and our family is
here, as well," she told The Associated Press. "It's exciting. It feels
like home. It really feels like we're performing at home."
Melanie Brown ("Scary Spice") moved to Los Angeles in 2003. Other
band members said they've grown accustomed to the L.A. lifestyle.
"We've all been here, staying here for quite a while," added "Baby
Spice" Emma Bunton. "We've all fallen in love with it, as well. You
might have a few more Spice Girls moving here."
The Spice Girls kicked off their tour, the band's first since 1999,
on Sunday in Vancouver, British Columbia. Future stops include Las
Vegas, New York and London.
The band also confirmed reports that David Beckham purchased each
member a diamond bracelet to celebrate the start of the tour. Said
Victoria Beckham: "My husband, when he married me, married all the
Spice Girls, and he has to look after us all."
