EVERYBODY, you’d better Say You’ll Be There, because the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls have hinted at a Larger Than Life joint tour to really Spice Up Your Life.

(Sorry.)

Terrible puns aside, the two 90s supergroups could really be teaming up to bring their impressive roster of smash hits to the stage.

In a new interview with US Weekly, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter — who’s currently working alongside Spice Girl Emma Bunton on a US reality contest — reignited rumours that there’s a plan in the works.

“I’ve had conversations with Scary Spice and Emma, and we’ve talked about it,” he revealed.

“We’re always open to doing a tour with them. I think it would be an epic tour.”

It’s not the first time such an iconic tour has been suggested.

Back in 2015, BSB’s AJ McLean told Rolling Stone it was a concept that had been “bouncing around” between the bands for more than a year. While, he dismissed the idea just a year later — explaining that the Spice Girls’ 20th anniversary and the Backstreet Boys’ album plans had complicated things — he kept hope alive: “God willing, maybe down the road it could happen.”

Fingers crossed we may have finally reached that destination.
