Victoria Beckham has banned husband David from watching the Spice Girls' first concert on Sunday, because she is too nervous.
The singer will take to the stage with her four band mates - Geri Halliwell, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Mel B - in Vancouver, Canada, as the girls kick-off their hotly anticipated world tour.
But soccer star David will not be there to lend his support as she doesn't want the added pressure of knowing he's in the audience.
David - who has three sons, Brooklyn, eight, Romeo, five, and two-year-old Cruz, with Victoria - said, "One minute Victoria is saying she wants me there and then it's, 'No, don't come to the first show, as we'll all be too nervous.' But I think I'll be at the show a couple of days later in San Jose and have the boys with me. And I know Victoria will ring me as soon as the first show ends."
"She says the rehearsals have gone amazingly well."
Although he won't be at the opening night, David will be at most of the others as he plans to accompany his wife around the world.
The Los Angeles Galaxy star - who is currently on a break from soccer as the US season has finished - added to Britain's The Sun newspaper, "I won't be getting much of a break, I'm off on tour with the Spice Girls."
