Melanie Brown to visit Waterstones Bluewater

by | Nov 2, 2018 | Dartford Business

Singer and TV star Mel B to meet fans at 5pm on Wednesday 28th November

Melanie will be at the bookshop in the shopping centre’s West Village at 5pm on Wednesday 28th November to meet fans and sign copies of her book, ‘Brutally Honest’.

Brutally Honest – The tell-all memoir from the loudest, proudest Spice Girl – and the truth behind the headlines

As one-fifth of the iconic Spice Girls and judge on X Factor and America’s Got Talent, Melanie Brown, a.k.a Scary Spice, has been an international star since her twenties. Brutally Honest is an expose of the struggles and acute pain that lay behind the glamour and success.

With deep personal insight, remarkable frankness and trademark Yorkshire humour, the book removes the mask of fame and reveals the true story behind the Spice Girls, as well as the horror of her most recent marriage and her 10 year struggle to be free.

Melanie Brown’s career began with the pop phenomenon, Spice Girls. They became the biggest girl band in music history, selling more than 85 million records worldwide and becoming cultural icons around the globe. They appeared in tours that grossed $800 million dollars in just four years. Since they split in 2000, Melanie has become one of the most recognised faces on television, fronting shows from Lip Sync UK, The X Factor in Britain and Australia, Dancing With The Stars in Australia and America’s Got Talent. She has also starred in a string of movies including The Seat Filler. She has appeared on Broadway in Rent and most recently as Roxie Hart in Chicago. An ambassador for Jenny Craig in Australia, she remains one of the most popular stars in Britain and America. Melanie now lives in Los Angeles with her three daughters, Phoenix, Angel and Madison.

Lead bookseller Dami Olajoyegbe says: ‘We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to meet such an icon! We’re anticipating a lively signing.”

This event is free of charge but fans are advised to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Fans must have a copy of ‘Brutally Honest’ in order to meet Mel. For further information contact Waterstones Bluewater on 01322 624831.
