How many members were in Destiny’s Child’s final trio, including Beyoncé?

The story behind the answer

Destiny’s Child’s final lineup had three members, including Beyoncé.

The trio consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. This lineup became the group’s best-known formation and was active during its biggest commercial period, including the albums Survivor and Destiny Fulfilled.

Destiny’s Child began with a larger lineup. LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett were original members, but both left the group in 2000. Farrah Franklin briefly joined after their departure, making the group a quartet for part of that year before she also left.

Because the group changed size several times, people sometimes remember its original four-member configuration or the brief five-member history incorrectly. The final trio is the lineup most associated with songs such as “Survivor,” “Bootylicious,” and “Say My Name.” The group announced a hiatus in 2005 and later reunited for selected appearances.
