US R&B group Destiny’s Child have discussed reforming, according to Kelly Rowland, a former member of the trio.

Rowland said the group – which also featured Beyonce Knowles and Michelle Williams – had “never split up”.

“We are as close as we always were, like sisters, and may do some projects next year,” she told the News of the World.

The girl-group’s final album ‘Destiny Fulfilled’ was released in 2004.

Since they parted company, each member has launched successful solo careers, with Knowles also achieving notoriety as an actress.
