"We're always excited when we perform for our fans in Europe and the UK. Postponing these shows was the hardest thing for us, because we truly enjoy the fans," said Beyonc� Knowles of Destiny's Child. "We made that decision the very last second after taking a hard look at the state of the world right now. We look forward to re-scheduling the original shows, adding additional shows, and we pray for a quick end to the fighting and a return to peaceful times.� Performances being postponed are: October 24: Stockholm, Sweden - Globe [rescheduled to May 28] October 25: Copenhagen, Denmark - Forum [rescheduled to May 25] October 26: Hamburg, Germany - Sporthalle [rescheduled to May 31] October 28: Koln, Germany - Arena [rescheduled to May 20] October 29: Frankfurt, Germany - Festhalle [rescheduled to June 3] October 30: Stuttgart, Germany - Schleyerhalle [rescheduled to May 17] November 1: Berlin, Germany - Velodrome [rescheduled to June 1] November 5: Antwerp, Belgium - Sportspaleis [rescheduled to May 15] November 6: Rotterdam, Holland - Ahoy [rescheduled to May 21] November 7: Rotterdam, Holland - Ahoy [rescheduled to May 22] November 10: Sheffield, England - Arena [rescheduled to June 9] November 11: Newcastle, England - NEC Arena [rescheduled to June 11] November 12: Belfast, Ireland - Odyssey [rescheduled to June 21] November 14: Birmingham, England - NIA [rescheduled to June 16] November 15: Birmingham, England - NIA [rescheduled to June 17] November 17: Manchester, England - MEN Arena [rescheduled to June 13] November 18: London, England - Docklands Arena [rescheduled to June 7] November 19: London, England - Docklands Arena [rescheduled to June 8] November 20: London, England - Wembley [rescheduled to June 18] 10.17.01 DESTINY'S PROJECTS To ensure they don't rival each other on the charts, the ladies of Destiny's Child will stagger their solo albums over the next year and a half and pursue film and television projects in their respective musical downtimes. First up with a solo disc will be Michelle Williams, who is planning a gospel album for early next year, according to Mathew Knowles, DC's manager and the father of singer Beyonc� Knowles. The record will include Williams' duet with veteran gospel singer Shirley Caesar on "Steal Away to Jesus" - a ballad that will first appear on Caesar's album Hymns, due October 30. Williams plans to record the remainder of her album before year's end and will mark her arrival in the gospel world at January's Stellar Gospel Music Awards. Destiny's Child's "Gospel Medley" and "Outro (DC-3) Thank You," which originally appeared on Survivor, will serve as bonus tracks on Williams' disc. Beyonc� is expected to announce next week that she has accepted a supporting actress role in a major movie, her father said. After completing that project, she will turn her attention toward a solo album, due next fall. Kelly Rowland's solo debut will be the last to drop, surfacing in early 2003 and sporting an "alternative R&B" style, Knowles said. Kelly's plans in the meantime include making appearances on television, beginning with a guest-star role on an episode of the Nickelodeon sitcom "Taina." The episode will be shot in early December. "I wouldn't want any of my artists to directly compete with each other," Knowles said. "They're so multitalented that while one's working TV, the other can be working a record." Between all the solo projects, the ladies will still find plenty of time to be a trio. Destiny's Child are planning to headline a tour kicking off in March or April that will also feature Beyonc�'s younger sister, Solange, and other artists managed by Knowles. The trek will concentrate on cities that Destiny's Child didn't already visit on MTV's recent "TRL" tour. Solange is scheduled to release her debut, Solo Star, in February. Solo Star's title track appeared on this summer's "Osmosis Jones" soundtrack. The album will also include a duet with Beyonc� and a guest appearance from Destiny's Child. Solange and DC already collaborated on the theme song to the Disney Channel's animated series "The Proud Family." MTV.com |
