With Beyonce and Kelly Rowland enjoying successful solo careers, the current Destiny's Child reunion will conclude at the end of the group's summer North Amreican tour. This begs the question, had it really been that long since they went on hiatus in the first place?

Saturday night in Barcelona, Spain, the group told fans that the show would be the final Destiny's Child performance in Europe. "After a lot of discussion and some deep soul searching," the group said in a statement released to MTV on Sunday, "we realized that our current tour has given us the opportunity to leave Destiny's Child on a high note. After all these wonderful years working together, we realized that now is the time to pursue our personal goals and solo efforts in earnest. We want to thank all of our fans for their incredible love and support and hope to see you all again as we continue fulfilling our destinies."

Massively popular and successful, Destiny's Child sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. Having just completed a tour of Europe, they will begin a lengthy North American tour in July that will run through mid-September, ending in beautiful Vancouver.

This is sad news indeed, but as long as Beyonce can keep cranking out hits like "Crazy In Love" and "Naughty Girl", I think we'll be just fine.
