Under a deal announced on Tuesday, Emma, Geri, Mel B,

Spice Up Your Life, the album will also include two new songs - Voodoo, and Headlines (Friendship Never Ends), which
will be the group's first new single since 2000.
More gigs added
The Spice Girls announced in late June that they were
reforming, seven years after they split, and unveiled plans for
a 10-date world tour.
More gigs are being added to meet demand.
The tour starts on December 2 in Vancouver.
Over 3 million people registered online to buy tickets,
which promoters say suggests that up to 18 million fans want to
see the five women in action again.
The revival tour will see the Spice Girls play cities
including New York, London, Hong Kong, Sydney and Buenos
Aires.
