Destiny's Child annoncent leur séparation
D'après MTV, le trio Destiny's Child composé de Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Beyonce (sur la photo de gauche à droite) vient d'annoncer sa séparation dans une déclaration à MTV News. La séparation devrait être effective vers la fin de leur tournée mondiale actuelle, soit à l'automne prochain.
Nous travaillons ensemble sous le nom de «Destiny's Child» depuis l'âge de 9 ans, et nous nous produisons sur scène depuis nos 14 ans. Après beaucoup de discussions et après avoir envisagé tous les tenants et aboutissants, nous sommes arrivées au résultat que notre tournée actuelle nous offre l'opportunité de quitter Destiny's Child alors que le groupe est à son apogée, unies que nous sommes dans l'amitié et plus que comblées par la gratitude que nos fans ont exprimé envers nous-mêmes et notre musique», précise le trio.
La séparation du groupe, qui a en fait débuté en quatuor en 1997, n'est pas une surprise pour autant. Bon nombre de critiques estimaient que ses jours étaient comptés après le succès planétaire connu par Beyoncé en 2003 avec son album solo Dangerously in Love, distingué par cinq Grammy Awards, la consacrant superstar à part entière. Quant au tire du dernier album du trio, Destiny Fullfilled « Destinée accomplie », il sonnait comme un avertissement.

Biography
quote
« We don't want the guys to think we're male-bashing or that we're thinking that guys should pay all girls bills, because that's not where we're coming from. »
-Destiny's Child defending the lyrics of "Bills, Bills, Bills".
The Houston-based quartet began with the meeting of 7 and 8-year-old girls Beyoncé Knowles and LaTavia Roberson. The founding members of the group first met while auditioning for a children's group. Beyoncé's cousin, Kelly Rowland, soon joined the girls, and the trio was finally joined by the fourth part of the group, LeToya Luckett.
Managed by Music World Management's Matthew Knowles -- who is also Beyoncé's father and Kelly's legal guardian -- the four young girls with big dreams became Destiny's Child.
Worshipping the moves and voices of R&B legendary groups such as the Supremes and the Jackson 5, the children of Destiny's Child started small by performing at local events and moved on to their national television debut with their performance on Star Search.
Not only did their strong voices standout, but their originality and refreshing rap performance was only a preview of what the music industry was in store for.
Soon enough, the group had moved up from the ranks of performing at small-time gigs, to becoming the opening act for popular R&B and hip hop acts Dru Hill, SWV and Immature.
While watching alien-fighters Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in the film Men in Black, you may have noticed Destiny's Child crooning in the background. Their single "Killing Time" appeared on the Men in Black soundtrack, and later appeared on their self-titled debut CD.
Destiny's Child was released in 1998, under the Columbia Records label.
The album features Wyclef Jean, Pras and Jermaine Dupri as collaborating producers, as well as their hit single "No, No, No", which went platinum.
If the three awards that Destiny's Child received at the 1998 Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards wasn't enough of an indication of their upcoming success, their next album sure was. The Writing's on the Wall, which was released in 1999, reached the top ten Billboard album charts upon its release.
The album has so far spawned 4 hit singles, "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Say My Name," "Bug a Boo," and "Jumpin', Jumpin'." With their album reaching triple platinum status by the end of the year, 2 Grammy nominations in 1999, an "Image Award" for Outstanding Duo or Group by the NAACP, and contributions to the soundtracks for the films Why Do Fools Fall In Love?, Life, and Romeo Must Die, one would think that the Houston-based group would know no problems -- but that would be wrong.
In March of 2000, it was announced that group members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson had left the group. It was later revealed that the two members were unhappy with the management of Matthew Knowles, and that they left because of existing "creative differences." LeToya and LaTavia took the group and its management to court, while the remaining members found two replacements, Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin.
Just when it seemed that Destiny's Child had seen the last of their problems, Farrah Franklin left the group after 5 months, leaving Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams (not to be confused with the blonde Dawson's Creek star) as a trio, basking in the glory of consecutive number one hits.
