Spice Girls are shocked after a song which was never released with a naughty title has somehow surfaced on the internet.
The iconic girl group consisting of Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Melanie C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton were horrified when C. U. Next Tuesday, which was written and recorded 27 years ago, was uploaded on to the internet this week following a security breach. The term is slang for a four-letter expletive, which goes against everything that the band represents during their illustrious career.
It is thought that the unwanted song was recorded for their debut album Spice but the group refused to have it on the record.
Last year, Spice Girls released Spice25 to celebrate the album's 25th anniversary, featuring unreleased demos and remixes but the unsuitably named track still did not make the cut even as a bonus track. It is a mystery as to how the song appeared online, however, the five-piece are not willing to put much energy into tracking down the culprit.
A music insider told The Sun : "The Spice Girls are all at a very different place in their lives now than they were when this song was first written as a tongue-in-cheek track in the Nineties.
"It is obviously a bit embarrassing given the cringeworthy title, as they wouldn’t use the c-word in their own lives. It is a bit of a mystery how on earth it has got out but they aren’t going to dwell on it.
"The group have other projects they are looking forward to in 2023 so are focusing on them and hoping this song — which they were never particularly fond of — is forgotten."
Mel C is furious of the thought of having the song in the band's greatest hits collection. She said: "C.U. Next Tuesday was never used because it’s a pile of s***. It would be a big rip-off if Virgin put it on a greatest hits album now."
Sporty Spice had upset some of her fans in Poland after abruptly pulling the plug on her New Year gig earlier this week. The 48-year-old musician was due to take to the stage for the Polish state broadcaster on New Year's Eve.
However, she has since decided not to attend the event - seemingly due to Poland’s attitudes to the LGBTQ+ community.
Announcing her decision on social media, Mel wrote: "In light of some issues that have been brought to my attention, that do not align with the communities I support, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to perform in Poland as planned on New Year's Eve."
She added: "I hope to be back there very soon. Hope you’re all having a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for 2023."
