What do The Backstreet Boys, Guns N’ Roses and Black Eyed
Peas have in common? They have all reunited to grace the world once again with
their music magic. Here are some other great bands of the past that should take
a few notes and reunite right now.
1. Destiny's Child
With twins on the way for Beyoncé, this one isn't very likely. However, the brief taste of a reunion from Beyoncé's Super Bowl performance 4 years ago was enough for the world to realize we need this trio to go on tour again.
2. Led Zeppelin
Seeing this
classic rock band go on a reunion tour would be the answer to everyone's problems. Sadly, singer Robert Plant has said he is done and has no interest in returning. Luckily, there's plenty of live footage of this band on
YouTube to fulfill the void of their split.
3. The Spice Girls
Last year we were teased with the possibility of a reunion when a new website was released called The Spice Girls - GEM. However, it was explained that Mel C and Victoria Beckham would not participate in the project. Will GEM result in a reunion tour? Only time will tell.
4. The White Stripes
I think it's safe to say Seven Nation Army is an anthem that we all love and cherish. Seeing this pair reunite would be a blessing to all. However, after their split in 2011, a reunion doesn't look too promising. Jack White has explained it was Meg's lack of interest that led to this duo's demise.
5. N'SYNC
The Bye Bye Bye singers will be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later this year. I can't think of a better reason to reunite than that! The group has teased us with reunion shows here and there, but nothing official has yet to be announced.
6. Smashing Pumpkins
This group has shown promising signs of a reunion within the last year. In March 2016 original guitarist James Iha joined singer Billy Corgan and two other former members on stage in
Los Angeles. Corgan has reached out to the original lineup so a reunion is definitely a possibility.
7. My Chemical Romance
Last year the band reissued their third studio album The Black Parade with unreleased demos. There were rumors that a possible reunion would follow this release, but nothing has officially been stated by the actual band.
8. The Smiths
There have been countless rumors regarding The Smiths' reunion. However, singer Morissey has openly explained his aggravation with the other members, and that he will never participate in a reunion. What a shame.
9. Sugar Ray
Seeing this band come together and give us another summer anthem like hit Fly would be a dream come true. Unfortunately, after Sugar Ray toured in 2014, singer Mark McGrath revealed they would never release another album. How sad.
10. Outkast
The hip-hop
duo reunited back in 2014 for several different music festivals to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band. Even though an official reunion is yet to be announced, it looks possible. Hopefully they'll throw in a new album in too!
11. Sex Pistols
This punk-rock favorite reunited back in 2007 for five shows followed by a small European tour in 2008. They also released a fragrance in 2010. Even though an official reunion tour has not been mentioned, bassist Glen Matlock told NME it's possible.
