A source close to superstar Beyoncé confirmed to Us Weekly that the rumored Destiny’s Child reunion at this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show is happening.
The unnamed source said the hip-hop diva will perform a few songs solo, but midway through the performance ex-band-mates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams will join her on stage to sing a combination of old songs (including “Survivor” and “Bills, Bills, Bills”) and their new single, “Nuclear.”
In light of the recent inauguration lip-syncing allegations, Beyoncé reportedly can’t wait to “knock them dead.”
After performing the National Anthem on Monday at President Barack Obama’s second-term inauguration, claims that Beyoncé used a pre-recorded track instead of singing live sparked a media firestorm.
The lip-syncing claims originated from the Marine Corps Band, who accompanied the singer’s performance, but the band directors later distanced themselves from the comments.

The 31-year-old singer has not commented on the inauguration performance, but looks forward to next week’s performance.
“She can’t wait to get on the Super Bowl stage and show everyone,” a source told Us Weekly.
