The popular music group Destiny's Child will be splitting up at the end of their current tour.

Kelly Rowland told fans at their gig in the Spanish city of Barcelona that the tour would be the group's final European appearance, reports Internet portal Ananova.

A statement to MTV News from the band said: "We have been working together as Destiny's Child since we were nine years, and touring together since we were 14 years.

"After a lot of discussion... we realised that our current tour has given us the opportunity to leave Destiny's Child on a high note, united in our friendship and filled with an overwhelming gratitude for our music, our fans, and each other."

The 'Destiny Fulfilled and Loving It' tour will finish in the Canadian city of Vancouver Sep 10.
