Melanie C has denied she refused to take part in a Spice Girls reunion show, and in doing so scuppered plans for a greatest hits release. Writing on he website she says: "It's really annoying to keep reading all these lies. I have never even been approached about a tour - I am completely unaware of any of the other girls' desire to get back together."
On her current tour of intimate Barfly venues around the UK, Mel continues: "The tour is proving to be a huge success and is completely sold out. I chose to play these small venues and did not advertise these shows as I am not promoting anything. They are for fun, for you guys and to try out new songs before I start recording."
That recording is for Mel C's as yet untitled third solo album, which will be released on her own label Red Girl Records.
