There are a few defining moments in one's childhood that shape us wee babies into the grown(ish) people we are today.
For me, one of those traumatic defining moments was when sweet Ginger spice Geri Halliwell left the Spice World and broke millions of hearts everywhere.
So when Geri left the group in 1998, she left Mel B, Emma, Victoria and Mel C to pick up the broken pieces of a shocked and confused fandom.
It's like the main reasons I have trust issues today, so???
#OTD 1998: MY WORLD ENDED.
In 2007, the Spice Girls documentary Giving You Everything finally gave fans a long awaited bit of insight to Geri's mental space at the time of her departure.
"They didn't need me anymore, really, and I definitely felt very redundant. I kind of threw in the towel and gave up," she concluded
Of course, Victoria Beckham took a hard pass on the reunion tour but that's besides the point.
Their final three shows were sold out at Wembley Stadium with their final show taking place on June 16th.
Friendly reminder that the Wembley holds 90,000 PEOPLE!
"Something occurred to me this afternoon" she started.
"I need to say something very, very important I should have said a long time ago."
"I'm sorry I left."
At this point, Geri gets emotional and the fans start going wild in support of their QUEEN.
Mel C then calls "Goodbye" the silver lining in her departure.
Fans in the crowd and watching from home could feel the LOVE in this moment and just couldn't get enough!
We must protect her at all costs!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH GERI GIRL!
SPICE GIRLS FOREVER!
