Bono to collaborate with Spice Girls?
Monday 1 October 2007
The U2 star has apparently been called in to help with the girl-power group's latest release because they are worried about how the new LP will fare with the public.
A source told British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "It might seem unusual with the Spice Girls' pop roots and the much more rockier work of Bono, but it works.
"There's been a bit of unease as to how the album will perform and if there's still a solid Spice Girls' fanbase out there.
"However, Bono's involvement has lifted the whole camp and he's delighted to have been asked and add his experience. Expect the unexpected."
Spice Girls Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham split in 2000, but have since reformed for a 'farewell' tour, which is due to kick off in December.
Earlier today, their London reunion concert sold out in 38 seconds after fans were notified tickets had gone on sale.
More than one million people in the UK registered for the concert, which takes place on 15 December at London's O2 arena.
