Melanie C., otherwise known as Sporty Spice, will make her first solo trek through the U.S. during her upcoming North American tour. The 13-city outing kicks off on March 29 in Calgary, Alberta, and continues through April 18 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The Spice Girls abandoned plans for a tour after the paltry showing of "Forever" (Virgin), which debuted at No. 39 on the Billboard 200 album chart last November. Melanie's multi-platinum debut "Northern Star" (Virgin) hit stores in October 1999 and spawned the dance club hit "I Turn to You."
Last year, Melanie scheduled a handful of U.K. dates that were subsequently canceled due to illness. According to Pollstar, those dates have been rescheduled for late spring.
