Destiny's Child will split after their up coming North American tour. The group's Kelly Rowland made the announcement during a performance in Barcelona on Saturday night. The trio's 'Destiny Fulfilled ... and Loving It' tour kicks off in North America on 2 Jul, running through to a Vancouver date on 10 Sep.
Destiny's Child took a three year break from the studio following 2001's 'Survivor' of course, allowing the group's members to work on solo projects. With their respective solo successes, and especially Beyonce's huge appeal as a solo artist, there has been speculation before that the band may not work together again, but nevertheless they regrouped for last year's 'Destiny Fulfilled'.
It is not clear if Rowland's announcement means no more Destiny's Child for good, or if just the girls plan to take another considerable break from the franchise. When previously asked by Billboard if 'Destiny Fulfilled' would be their last album, Beyonce said: "Who knows what will happen in three, five or 10 years? The main thing is that we maintain our friendship and that we do it because we want to - not because it's a good business move."
