Destiny’s Child reunited earlier this week at the opening night of Death Becomes Her on Broadway.
Michelle Williams is currently starring in the musical, an adaptation of Universal Pictures’ 1992 dark comedy film of the same name which starred Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis and Isabella Rossellini.
The Broadway version runs at New York City’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and sees Williams take on the role of Viola Van Horn.
In celebration of the show’s opening night on Thursday (November 21), her former Destiny’s Child bandmates, Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, showed up to support.
Beyoncé shared the moment on Instagram with a selection of photos and videos of the ‘Say My Name’ singers together backstage, alongside the ‘Cowboy Carter’ song ‘II Most Wanted’. Responding to the sentimental post, Williams commented: “I try not to cry too early in the day BUT……. My sisters 4ever!”
It’s not the first time the trio have reunited this year. In January they delivered an impromptu performance at Rowland’s husband – talent manager Tim Weatherspoon’s – 50th birthday. They sang a special rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ that, according to Page Six, guests called a “highlight” of the celebration.
Prior to that, they also joined forces during Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl halftime performance. The following year, Knowles-Carter and Rowland featured on Williams’ most popular track, ‘Say Yes’, and performed at the 2015 Stellar Gospel Music Awards. And, in 2018, they shocked the world again by teaming up at Beyoncé’s historic “Beychella” Coachella headline show.
In other Beyoncé news, the singer will bring her latest album ‘Cowboy Carter’ to the NFL Christmas-day Halftime Show this December, as confirmed by Netflix earlier this month.
She will be performing midway through this year’s Christmas game between the Houston Texas and Baltimore Ravens on December 25, in an event that will be livestreamed on Netflix.

Zayn Malik paid tribute to his late One Direction bandmate Liam Payne on the first night of his UK tour.
The artist kicked off the tour in Leeds last night (November 23) and at the end of the show projected a tribute to Payne on the screen behind him. It contained his year of birth and death and the message ‘Love you bro’.
The tribute was especially poignant given that the gig was taking place just three days after Payne’s funeral. Cheryl, the other members of One Direction and Simon Cowell were among those in attendance at the funeral in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, on Wednesday, just over a month after the singer died, aged 31.
Payne died on October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with an autopsy confirming that the singer had suffered internal and external bleeding and multiple traumatic injuries.
Malik’s tour was supposed to begin with two shows in Edinburgh earlier this week but they were rescheduled due to “unforeseen circumstances”. These would have likely been related to the funeral, which took place on the day the first Edinburgh show was originally scheduled for. Both shows will now take place on December 8 and 9.
Malik is also due to perform in London, Manchester, Wolverhampton and Newcastle until December 3.
The singer previously postponed the US leg of his tour over Payne’s death. He confirmed later that the shows would be rescheduled for January 2025.
In May, Malik played his first-ever solo show in London. After launching his solo career in 2016, he cancelled what was due to be his debut appearance in June that year, citing “the worst anxiety of my career”.
