REUNION ON BROADWAY: Beyoncé, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland
IN A powerful display of friendship and sisterhood, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams reunited on Thursday night to celebrate Williams' Broadway debut in Death Becomes Her, a musical adaptation of the cult classic 1992 film.
The rare reunion of the Destiny's Child bandmates was a poignant reminder of the bond that has kept the Destiny’s Child trio close for over two decades—both in music and in life.
Beyoncé captured the emotional moment in a heartwarming video montage shared on Instagram, featuring herself, Rowland, their mother Tina Knowles, and Williams at the premiere.
The video, set to the song “II Most Wanted”—a collaboration with Miley Cyrus—spoke volumes about their enduring friendship, with the lyrics “I’ll be your shotgun rider till the day I die” perfectly mirroring the deep connection the women share.
In a later post, Beyoncé shared a series of photos from the evening, with the simple yet heartfelt caption “My belle,” a tender tribute to Williams.
The images showed the four women laughing, hugging, and celebrating Williams’ achievement on Broadway, radiating love and support.
Tina Knowles also shared the moment on her own Instagram account, resharing the video and writing: “It is always great seeing Destiny’s Child together. At the Death Becomes Her premiere the other night on Broadway in New York City. We watched as Michelle killed this role! She sang like an angel and looked like a goddess. Ride or die friends who support and love each other.”
FAMILY TIES: Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé and Tina Knowles
Death Becomes Her—now playing at New York’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre—is based on the 1992 film directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis. Williams plays the role of Viola Van Horn, and her performance has already garnered rave reviews.
Alongside her, the production features Megan Hilty, Jennifer Simard, and Christopher Sieber.
Though Williams couldn’t be at the recent rally in Houston to support Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential bid—where Beyoncé and Rowland took the stage to speak out for women’s rights—she expressed her pride for her Destiny’s Child sisters during a recent interview on The Sherri Shepherd Show. “It was the first time I have not been able to be in person for something that I wanted to be at... It’s a sacrifice we make being on Broadway,” Williams shared. She went on to say, “I watched the rally, and they represented and held me down in their own way.”
The reunion, which comes just weeks after the 20th anniversary of Destiny’s Child’s final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled, is a poignant reminder that, while the trio may no longer be making music together, their support for one another remains unwavering—and their bond stronger than ever.
