Beyonce summons Destiny’s child at Coachella
    2018-04-17  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

DESTINY’S Child have performed together at Coachella.

Beyoncé brought band mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams on stage during her headline set at the festival in California on Sunday night.

The trio began their surprise performance with their 2004 hit “Lose My Breath,” followed by “Say My Name” and “Soldier.”

It’s the first time they have appeared together since the Stellar Gospel Music Awards in 2015.

The nearly two-hour set included quotes from civil rights activist Malcolm X and feminist author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, as well as samples of Nina Simone.

It also featured a rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a song often referred to as the “Black American National Anthem.”

Beyoncé’s set closed the second day of the three-day festival in Indio, California, which will end with Eminem.

The Texan singer had been due to perform at Coachella last year, but was forced to pull out after becoming pregnant with twins Rumi and Sir.

Rumors that Destiny’s Child would reform for this year’s festival have been circulating for months.

But band member Kelly Rowland had dismissed them, telling People’s magazine in December, “I have no idea about any of that.”

Destiny’s Child is one of the most successful female groups of all time. They had 14 U.K. Top 40 songs, and two U.K. Number 1s.

On Saturday night the trio rose to the stage on a platform, standing back to back in a Charlie’s Angels-style formation, a nod to their 2001 hit “Independent Women Part 1,” which appeared on the film’s soundtrack.

Their jewel-encrusted camouflage outfits echoed those worn in the iconic video for their song “Survivor.”

They performed energetic dance routines with lunges, high kicks and salutes, walking among the festival crowd on a raised walkway.

Beyoncé’s set took in the breadth of her 16-year solo career, including songs “Baby Boy,” “7/11” and “Single Ladies” (“Put a Ring on It”).

Jay-Z also joined his wife on stage for a performance of their 2012 song “Deja Vu,” while Solange later came on stage to dance with her elder sister.
