A source said: ‘Beyoncé and Destiny’s Child are reuniting. It was teased, rumored, squashed, so nothing much else was said . . . But it’s happening.’
Destiny’s Child last performance was in 2015. They sang Michelle’s single Say Yes at the Stellar Awards. Prior to that they joined forces at Beyonce’s Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in 2013. The group originally disbanned in 2006.
