Emma adds, "We've had our ups and downs but you've always been there."
"And we want to celebrate and have a party," the trio says, "And when we do, you're all invited!" The screen then shows a message to Spice Girls' fans, "Happy 20th birthday to all our fans. This is a celebration for you! We hope to tell you soon, what you want, what you really really want #WANNABE."
Spice Girls GEM also shares on Instagram a new group photo. "Happy 20th Birthday to all our fans! You've stood by us for over 20 years, so we want to say thank you. We hope to tell you soon what you want, what you really really want... #wannabe," Emma writes.

Spice Girls GEM planned a massive reunion concert at London's Hyde Park for July 2017. "Mel B, Emma and Geri agreed Hyde Park would be the ultimate way to launch a reunion next July for their 21st anniversary," an insider told The Sun, "It gives them a year to plan everything and make sure their comeback is spectacular. It would be the most-talked about gig of the year."
