With 'Destiny Fulfilled,' trio 'Destiny's Child' parts ways

The dazzling black all-girl trio "Destiny's Child," which has sold more than 40 million records around the world and captivated audiences with hits like "Jumpin' Jumpin'" and "Say My Name," is calling it quits to allow singers to pursue their individual careers.

But the R and B group promised Monday to complete their "Destiny Fulfilled ... and Loving It" North America tour that is due to begin on July 9 in St. Louis, Missouri, and wrap up on September 10 in Vancouver, Canada.

"After a lot of discussion and some deep soul searching, we realized that our current tour has given us the opportunity to leave Destiny's Child on a high note, united in our friendship and filled with an overwhelming gratitude for our music, our fans, and each other," the trio said in a statement supplied exclusively to MTV television and posted on its Web site.

Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams said they had realized that "now is the time to pursue our personal goals and solo efforts in earnest."

They promised to remain "friends and sisters" and always help each other as they go their separate ways.
