Hollywood Walk of Fame recognises Destiny's Child

Not even pouring rain could dampen the mood of Destiny’s Child when the recently disbanded R&B group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

Lead singer Beyonce Knowles, wearing a grey off-the-shoulder suit with heels, joined her former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams at the installation of the walk’s 2,305th star.

“We started when we were nine years old, and here we are getting a Hollywood star,” Knowles said.

“Dreams come true. So thank you all so much for supporting us.”

The Grammy Award-winning trio disbanded last year to pursue solo careers.

Knowles and Rowland, both from Houston, were founding members of the group, which scored instant success with its debut album, Destiny’s Child.

“I want to thank ya’ll for coming out here in this rain. We are humbled to be here,” Rowland said to the umbrella-covered crowd in front of the Kodak Theatre.

Among the group’s biggest hits have been Say My Name, Survivor and Independent Women (Part I).
