Beyonce's Dad Hoping For 'One Last Album' From Destiny's Child

Beyoncé's father Matthew Knowles has suggested the idea of a Destiny's Child reunion.

Knowles, who serves as the band's longtime manager, said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that he would like to see the legendary trio reunite for "one last album."

"You never know. You never say it can't happen. Because this is entertainment. A lot of things can happen," he added.

"It's a decision that the ladies would have to make. And I would certainly, certainly support that decision as I still manage Destiny's Child. I would love to see that as well," Knowles told ET.

The last time Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams performed as a band was at Queen Bey's headlining Coachella set in 2018.

Beyoncé is currently playing in Europe as part of her Renaissance World Tour and is scheduled to return to the U.S. in July.

MTV Video Music Awards Returning To New Jersey In September

MTV has announced the 2023 Video Music Awards will return to New Jersey's Prudential Center on September 12th.

The show will air in 150 countries. Additional details will be announced closer to the show.

"We're thrilled to be returning to the Prudential Center in Newark for this year's VMAs!" shared Bruce Gillmer, President of Music, Music Talent, Programming & Events, Paramount and Chief Content Officer, Music, Paramount+.

He added, "Celebrating one of our biggest nights in music with the Garden State's incredible fans has been our goal since last year's highly successful event."

Last year's show was hosted by Nicki Minaj and featured performances from Bad Bunny, Anitta, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem and Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, Blackpink, J Balvin, Lizzo, Jack Harlow, and more.

"Awarding Newark as host city for the 2023 VMAs echoes not only our selection by MTV in 2022 and 2019, but also reverberates our city's historic vibe as a hotbed of musical genius," said Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka. "Starting with America's first known composer in 1759, through the jazz explosion in the 1920s, and up to today's full spectrum of genres from hip hop to opera, Newark has long served as America's turntable for harmonic expression."

He continued, "The relevance of the Video Music Awards rising up today from the same city that registered the film and video industry's first nitrocellulose patent is not lost on me as Newark continues to sit squarely at the crossroads of motion picture and music."
