Victoria Beckham suffered panic attack at reunion gig

Victoria Beckham suffered a panic attack and almost walked off stage ahead of the Spice Girls reunion gig at the Olympics closing ceremony.

Singer-turned-fashionista Beckham took to the stage on the last night of the London 2012 Games on Sunday and turned to calming bandmate Emma Bunton as they made their way to centre of the stadium in black cabs.

During an interview for Heart FM radio the star praised Bunton for her approach, saying, "I was in the taxi with Emma before we started and I nearly just got out of the car. I was so nervous. I felt sick and Emma was so amazing. Honestly, that's how you know a real friend. If it wasn't for her, I would not have been out there."

what do you think?

I totally support the very notion and mythology of "Girl Power". To all the haters out there, I say this: "Yo! Haters! Yes, you lot, you have affected humanity in ... what way? Girl Power ... those days meant a lot ... to many young girls as they grew up. They all had more self-esteem, more focus, more pride. They did not let humanity tread them into the ground. What ... what is better than seeing a Girl Power shirt?" Remind me if The Spice Girls were anything to do with Girl Power or am I getting them mixed up with someone else?

Ok, we don't all love or hate the girls - but it's not to say we haven't been good or influential in our own walks of life!
