She's okay now!
On Monday, Emma Bunton made a triumphant return to the stage after being forced to cancel a number of her performances across the country on "doctor's orders."
The Spice Girl, 46, delighted fans with her performance at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London, where she reunited with bandmate and Sporty Spice Mel C, 48. Emma, also known as Baby Spice, looked incredible in a sequined and feathered minidress on the evening after canceling two shows of her holiday tour on Friday and Saturday due to illness.
Her long, blonde hair was loosely curled over her shoulders, and she wore makeup, including a smokey eye. Mel C entered the stage wearing black pants and a sporty-looking jacket. Ricky Wilson and Jade Jones, the wife of Jade Jones, also joined Emma on stage that evening.
At one point during the evening, during which she performed holiday-themed songs, her solo hits, and Spice Girls songs, she donned a festive gold minidress. Emma was devastated over the weekend after she was forced to cancel two of her holiday performances on Friday and Saturday due to illness.

She did not disclose the nature of her illness, but she did inform fans that she was unable to perform and that doctors had advised her to cancel the shows.
She said she was utterly devastated as she took to Instagram to apologize to her fans and express her regret at having to cancel her performances in York and Birmingham.
On Friday, Emma was scheduled to perform at the York Barbican; however, she canceled the performance 90 minutes in advance and announced on Saturday morning that her evening performance at Birmingham's Symphony Hall would also be canceled. Her physician has advised her that she cannot perform.
Emma Bunton continued by stating that this is the first time since her rise to fame over 25 years ago that she has been unable to stop crying. It's the first time she had to cancel a performance, which made her very emotional.
"I have never in my whole career ever had to cancel a gig and I can't stop crying. I tried my hardest to make tonight happen. Thank you all for your beautiful messages of support," she said.
