Spice Girls may play gig in Iraq
The Spice Girls may end up playing a concert in Baghdad as part of their forthcoming world tour after fans voted the Iraqi capital as a preferred 'Spice City'.
The recently reformed quintet asked their fans last week to vote where in the world the group should perform.
The girls said: "It's impossible for us to perform everywhere but we thought why not let our fans decide where we play? This is your chance to turn your city into 'Spice City'! All you need to do is tell us where you want to see us. We are literally in your hands."
According to several reports, thousands of fans have picked Baghdad to be the 'Spice City'. A source told UK newspaper the Daily Mirror: "Baghdad's already generated thousands of votes. It'll definitely be a contender when the voting ends."
A spokeswoman for the girl-power group commented: "The girls will go anywhere in the world that gets the most votes - be it Baghdad or Antarctica."
