Did you guess correct? It is none other than founding member and lead vocalist of the rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis. 

He was joined by bandmates Flea, 61, real name, Michael Peter Balzary, who transformed into Baby Spice (Emma Bunton) and John Frusciante, 54, as Sporty Spice (Mel C).

Flea had Clara. now 35, with ex-wife Loesha Zeviar and he is also dad to and 18-year-old Sunny Bebop with Frankie Rayder. 

He welcomed his third child with his now wife, Melody Ehsani in December, 2022.

Anthony wore a black strapless crop top and miniskirt and completed Victoria’s iconic look with a black short bobbed wig.

Meanwhile Flea donned a pink mini dress and a blonde wig as he dressed up as Emma Bunton and John donned a sports tracksuit copying Mel C’s style.   

Sharing the throwback snap to Instagram, Flea wrote: ‘When we did a Spice girls performance for my daughter Clara’s 10th birthday. 

‘John- sporty, anthony-posh, me- baby and the great chris warren was scary spice but sadly he is cropped out of this photo, trust me he looked beautiful. We practiced our moves seriously and gave the kids our best performance!’

The rights to his 2004 memoir Scar Tissue has been optioned by the movie production company, with Kiedis set to produce the feature film.

The movie – which is currently in early development – will also be produced by Brian Grazer, and Guy Oseary, reports Deadline.

Scar Tissue went to the number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list when it was first released in 2004. 

In Kiedis’ acclaimed book, he wrote about his unconventional relationship with his father, who was addicted to drugs and shared them with his son.

The tome also covers the passing of founding Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died of a heroin overdose aged 26.

But Kiedis has previously admitted he had regrets about penning the memoir, which once caused a rift with his bandmate Flea after he revealed in the book he had slept with his friend’s sister.

In 2016, Kiedis told The Sun: ‘I did regret the book for a while as there was some pain caused. But then, I started seeing the long-term positive reverberating. People were reading it in hospitals, in prisons and schools and it was having a positive effect.

‘I realized that the whole point of writing that book wasn’t for me, but to show that somebody can go all the way down and come all the way back and have a productive, successful happy interesting life.

‘And so whatever shame, pain or difficulty or discomfort I went through, then it was worth it because I get so many people coming up to me saying their kids had read it and got their act together because of it.’

Kiedis has fronted the multi platinum selling band since they formed in the late 1980s, frequently aappearing shirtless on stage during concerts.

He was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and raised in Los Angeles from the age of 12.

He spent much of his musical career writing lyrics about his experiences in the city. 

Kiedis co-founded Red Hot Chili Peppers with guitarist Slovak, bassist Flea (Michael Balzary) and drummer Jack Irons in 1982.

The group has sold over 120 million records sold worldwide, scored nine Top 10 albums, won six Grammys and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.

In his memoir Kiedis revealed he accidentally tried heroin for the first time at age 14, mistaking it for cocaine.

He was in a relationship with Heather Christie from 2004 to 2008. They have one son, Everly Bear Kiedis, 16.
