Melanie C, aka Sporty Spice, will be joining us in conversation at the Academy to talk about her book Who I Am. Told in her own words, the book is a full and honest account of what life was really like in The Spice Girls, one of the biggest music acts of all time.
The Spice Girls' 1996 debut single ‘Wannabe’ topped the charts in 37 countries and the group's debut album ’Spice’ went on to sell more than 31 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group. They went on to sell more than 85 million records.
As a solo artist, Melanie has achieved over 3 million album sales, two Number 1 singles and six Top 10 singles, including the iconic hits ‘I Turn To You’ and ‘Never be the Same Again’. In recent years, Melanie has performed at Pride parades all over the world with the LGBTQ+ club collective Sink the Pink – including taking the stage in Times Square, New York for World Pride’s closing party in 2019.
