Spice Girls superstar Melanie C has revealed that she misses being an active solo artist and is hoping to start work on a new record in the near future. 

During a new interview, she spoke about being in the music industry and confessed that she just loves being involved in the arts on any creative level: 

"I've missed working as a solo artist and miss my band so I want to work on a new album. Hopefully, my future lies in music, theatre, performing - I'm a triple threat."

The beauty will celebrate her 40th birthday on January 12, which she will honour by playing a special concert at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, and explained to Metro that she's excited about entering this new phase in her life:

"I'm less serious about things now. When you're in your 20s, you're figuring out who you are and what you want to achieve in life. I'm more relaxed about things now."

"I've always been ambitious and was lucky enough to enjoy massive success with the Spice Girls. But when you have that sort of success, you feel you have to be your absolute best to deserve it. Sometimes it can be a burden. It's nice to be more relaxed."
