Melanie Jane Chisholm

Singer Melanie C is a member of the Spice Girls, who managed to become famous after the breakup of the group. More than a dozen of her singles in different years topped the top of Great Britain, which makes Melanie C an iconic performer of this country along with John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The debut album "Northern Star" has sold 4 million copies worldwide and became the most successful solo album of the former Spice Girls.

Melanie Jane Chisholm was born on January 12, 1974 in Whiston, UK. The only child in the family of Alan Chisholm and Joan O'Neill. The parents separated when their daughter was 4.5 years old.

After a family split, Melanie and her mother moved to Widnes, Cheshire. Here the girl attended Brookvale Junior School, then Fairfield High School. The British woman combined her lessons with dancing, singing and theater.

Developing her creative skills came in handy - as a college student, Melanie responded to an ad in The Stage magazine for "girls aged 18 to 23 who can sing and dance, beautiful, hardworking, honest." For the sake of a singing career in the Spice Girls, Melanie even dropped out of school.

In 1994, the Spice Girls was formed - a bright group whose members were still children: the oldest, Jeri Halliwell, was barely 22 years old, Victoria Adams, who is now known as Victoria Beckham, celebrated her 21st birthday, Melanie Chisholm - 20th, Melanie Brown is 19th. The youngest was Michelle Stevenson, who was 17 years old. All of the singers had pseudonyms, and Chisholm became Sporty Spice.

Melanie, by the way, was chosen not only because of her vocal abilities: Liane Morgan, who was supposed to take the place, was refused because she looked too old against the rest.

Initially, the girls signed to Heart Management, but in 1995 they moved under the wing of Virgin. The debut album "Spice" (1996) blew the world, reaching # 1 in 17 countries, becoming multi-platinum in 27 countries. Listeners have sold over 30 million records, making "Spice" the best-selling CD in girl group history. The success was promoted by the charging and known to every music lover track "Wannabe", which was leading in 37 countries.

The second album "Spiceworld" (1997) repeated the commercial success of its predecessor, selling 20 million copies. At the same time, a documentary film about the group "Spiceworld: The Movie" was released, which grossed $ 100 million worldwide.

Jeri Halliwell left the Spice Girls in May 1998. Melanie Chisholm's biography has also taken a sharp turn - her solo track "When You're Gone", recorded with Brian Adams, burst into the top 3 in Great Britain. The song charted for 15 weeks and went platinum.

In 1999, the British signed a contract with Virgin and released Northern Star in the summer of the same year. The album climbed to the top 4 in the UK, went platinum three times, and sold 4 million copies. For promotional purposes, Melanie C went on a tour From Liverpool to Leicester Square, giving 14 concerts in Australia, USA, Canada, Japan, Europe.

Virgin didn't like Melanie C. The company was already preparing the termination documents when the producers decided to give the girl another chance. It was the single "Never Be the Same Again" - a duet with TLC member Lisa Left Eye Lopez. The track topped the charts in the UK, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, became the 18th bestseller in 2000, having sold over 1 million copies in Europe alone.

Following the success of Never Be the Same Again, the label decided to release two more Melanie C singles: a remix of I Turn to You, which peaked at # 1 in the UK, USA and 4 more countries, and If That Were Me, which reached only up to the 18th line of the charts.

It was 2000. The Spice Girls understood that solo creativity is also a career development option, so they recorded their third and final album, Forever, which sold 5 million copies. Right after Melanie, Si embarked on the first world tour Northern Star Tour. The program includes 4 continents, 30 countries, 76 concerts. The performer's popularity grew exponentially; her music was known in Japan, the USA, and Sweden.

Chisholm began recording a second album in late 2001. It was planned to be released in September 2002, but the release was postponed to March 2003. They say that the reason for the delay was the conflict between Melanie C and Virgin over the singer's figure - the label wanted the girl to lose weight for filming enticing clips in swimsuits and short dresses. In addition, the performer was treated for clinical depression.

In February 2003, the single "Here It Comes Again" was released, reaching # 7 in the UK. Album "Reason", which premiered a month later, entered the top 5. The second single "On the Horizon" did not improve the situation either - it reached 14th place. The dubious dynamics of Melanie Si's creativity was the main reason for the performer's dismissal from the label in January 2004.

In April of the same year, Melanie C founded her own record company, Red Girl. The name is inspired by the colors of Liverpool FC, for which the singer is rooting. Already in October, the former "peppercorn" wrote the third album, which consisted of deep songs. Piano and violin were used as the main instruments. The disc was named "Beautiful Intentions". Melanie C was in for a failure - 15th in the UK, no higher than the top 24 in the rest of the world. The next album "This Time" (2007) also did not find a response in the hearts of listeners and music critics.

The shake-up needed for Melanie C was the news of the Spice Girls' reunion in June 2007. The girls decided to go on a world tour of The Return of the Spice Girls. The performance fee was £ 10 million each. In November of the same year, the track "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" was recorded as an advertisement for the "peppercorns", which became the first in the history of the group not to reach the top 10 in the UK. This was followed by the compilation "Greatest Hits" with two new songs: "Headlines" and "Voodoo". It has sold 6 million copies.

After the end of the joint tour, in February 2008, Melanie See embarked on the 5th tour of the This Time Canadian Tour. This was the end of the active phase of the singer's solo career: she went to musicals, worked as a mentor on the shows "The X Factor Australia" and "Asia's Got Talent".

In 1997, Chisholm dated Robbie Williams, in 1998 - with Anthony Kiedis, vocalist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Inspired by their personal life, the singer wrote the song "Emit Remmus".

In 2000, the girl got involved in a painful relationship with rapper Jason Brown, after which she had to extricate herself from depression and treat an eating disorder.

In 2002, Melanie began dating Thomas Starr. On February 22, 2009, the couple had a daughter, Scarlet Chisholm Starr. In 2012, after 10 years of marriage, the civil husband and wife broke up, the singer completely focused on the child.

In 2014, fitness trainer Joe Marshall, who is now her manager, became Chisholm's chosen one.

Melanie See has many tattoos, most of which appeared in her youth to attract attention. Now the singer regrets about the applied drawings. Judging by the photo, the singer has at least 10 tattoos, the most noticeable is the cross on her forearm.

In November 2018, the Spice Girls announced a reunion for the Spice World 2019 tour. The girls announced a tour of 14 cities in the UK.
