Destiny's Child was one of the most iconic girl groups of the nineties and noughties, having sold more than 60 million records worldwide to date.
The band was originally formed of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett in 1990, with the girls being signed to Columbia Records and Music World Entertainment with the official name Destiny's Child in 1997.
Following the success of their self-titled album, which included hit tunes such as No, No, No, the group were thrust into mainstream recognition with their second album, The Writing's on the Wall, which featured song such as Bills, Bills, Bills and Say My Name.
In 2000, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett decided to leave the group. They were replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin, the latter who quit after five months. The group remained a trio until their fourth and final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled, in 2004
So nearly twenty years on from their final outing as a trio, where are Destiny's Child today?
