Destiny's Child have reunited for a special reason

Destiny's Child has reunited as Beyoncé praises "best friend" Kelly Rowland - and fans have been sharing the same request.

The hit girl group, whose final line-up comprised Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, was formed in 1990 in Houston, Texas. But in 2006, the band split and went their separate ways.

But in February 2024, the band got back together, with Kelly even getting support from superstar pal Beyoncé.
