Crowded House live in the USA

Crowded House

This legendary band have returned with a stunning album which deserves to be rated alongside their best.

In 1996, Crowded House played an emotional show called Farewell to the World on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. It was one of the biggest concerts in Australian history. But much to the delight of their fans around the globe, Crowded House announced their return to the music scene earlier this year.

Spice Girls reunion tour

Well the latest news is that the Spice Girls are back!
The girls have agreed to hold a whirlwind tour around the globe, including Sydney.
It's the first time all five girls have performed together as a group since
Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell quit to pursue her solo career in 1998.

The Spice Girls are back! The rumours have been milling around for years, but now the girls have made it official. And their whirlwind tour includes a show in Sydney. (Image: Getty)

1. The tour, which begins on the December 7, also includes stopovers in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, London, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing, Hong Kong, Cape Town and Buenos Aires. (Image: Getty)

2. The girls were a pop phenomenon in the '90s, pushing a unique brand of "girl power" and comprised of five of the most colourful personalities to have graced the UK music scene. (Image: Getty)

Spice Girls ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page.

1. And the reason behind the reunion? "We've talked about it for so long, to go on tour ... we all still see each other, we still speak, and the time seemed right," says Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham. (Image: Getty)

2. "The reason why is that it's been way too long! And we just want to go on tour and have some fun. See all our old fans, and sing all our old music," according to Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown. (Image: Getty)

1. Melanie "Sporty Spice" Chisholm adds, "recently, we've seen a lot more of each other and we've reminisced about the old days ... we felt it was the best time." (Image: Getty)

2. "I'm really looking forward to being back on stage with the other girls. It's been a long time and I want to look to the left, look to the right and see them right next to me," says Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton. (Image: Getty)

1. According to Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell this is unlikely to be the beginning of a comeback. "This is a unique experience, it may never happen again. I can't see us being like the Rolling Stones, going til we're 60 ... we're going to experience this with different eyes. We're a little wiser, a little older." (Image: Getty)

2. And the best way to get your hands on a ticket is to log on to their official website. (Image: Getty)

1. Best of all it seems some of the old costumes may get a re-run. "We want to give a hats-off to our characters," said Mel C. To which Mel B quipped, "leopard print is back in anyway." (Image: Getty)

2. When the girls released their first single, 'Wannabe' in 1996, it topped the charts in 31 countries. The group went on to sell more than 55 million records. (Image: Getty)

1. But with Geri leaving the group in 1998 to pursue a solo career, and an unsuccessful third album, Forever, released in 2000, the group decided to call it quits. (Image: Getty)

2. But for a while there the girls were true pop icons and according to writer David Sinclair, author of Wannabe: How The Spice Girls reinvented Pop Fame, "a social phenomenon that changed the course of popular music and popular culture." (Image: Getty)

1. The girls caused controversy when they threw all protocol out the window in their meeting with Prince Charles. Although they were accused by some of being "over familiar", the Prince seemed delighted by the encounter. (Image: Getty)

2. Dolls based on the girls were released in 1997 and were a huge hit during the Christmas season. They have since become collectables and can be found on eBay. (Image: Getty)

1. The girls won't be alone on their tour. The seven children of the Spice Girls will also accompany them. "That's one of the many reasons for this, for our children to see what we used to do. And I may be the cool one in the family for once," said Victoria. (Image: Getty)

2. There are also plans to release the first Spice Girls Greatest Hits album prior to the tour. "I was a big Spice Girls fan when I was 10 years old. I'll definitely buy their album and I never got to see a concert when they were still around, so this will be a great chance," says 21-year-old fan Nicola Seodon. (Image: Getty)

1.The group is also discussing the possibility of taking part in a tell-all documentary. "You're going to see the dark side of the Spice Girls," Geri said. (Image: Getty)

2. Safe to say, the tour will prove popular, with an injection of nostalgia for both the group and their grown-up fans. (Image: Getty)

1. And it may just be tougher to say goodbye the second time. (Image: Getty)

2. The Spice Girls are back! The rumours have been milling around for years, but now the girls have made it official. And their whirlwind tour includes a show in Sydney. (Image: Getty)
