Destiny's Child split

R&B group Destiny's Child have confirmed they are splitting up. The trio of Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams told 16,000 fans at a concert in Barcelona they were going to call it a day. "We realised that now is the time to pursue our personal goals and solo efforts in earnest," the chart-toppers said in a statement. The group will tour North America before they split, with their final show in Vancouver on 10 September. [photo: Destiny's Child official website]
