First Spice girls live performance - G.A.Y

edit

I keep hearing this on radio and TV, that the first live peformance was princes trust or other concerts, but it was in fact G.A.Y night club in August of 1996. I was there at the club, they peformed maybe 3 or 4 songs and made it very clear when they spoke that this was their first live performance (not TV etc). I am guessing due to attitudes at the time, this performance was largely ignored and so didnt get mentioned and was forgotten, but it terms of history it should be mentioned, it should also be mentioned in show of their support LGBTQ+ community that it started there.

There are pictures out there of this performance, I may have some myself. sailor iain (talk) 09:12, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request to update worldwide sales figure on "Spice (album)".

edit

Hello, the current worldwide sales figure for the album Spice on the article page appears to be outdated (23 million copies). I've found a more recent, well-sourced figure of 31 million copies sold from several reliable sources. Could an editor please update the figure in the lead section and infobox?

Here are the sources for verification:
