Beyonce reunites with Destiny’s Child at Coachella festival

Beyonce returned spectacularly to the stage on Saturday with a joyous, homecoming-themed party at the Coachella festival, where she delighted fans with a rare reunion of her former trio Destiny’s Child.

Before a sea of some 100,000 people in the southern California desert, the pop superstar headlined the second night of the premier global music festival, ending a year-long hiatus from live music as she gave birth to twins.

Her husband, rap mogul Jay-Z, popped up on stage toward the end of her set to join in their song Deja Vu. But he turned out to be only a preview of a less routine guest appearance.

With an audio recording of novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's essay We Should All Be Feminists allowing Ms. Beyonce a moment to prepare, she re-emerged being elevated to the stage in an unmistakable silhouette of three figures.

Fellow Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Ms. Beyonce for three of the trio’s songs, including Say My Name.
