Poor Kelly
Destiny's Child Has Tough Backstage Break
Those "Independent Women" of Destiny's Child
have an injured woman among their ranks, as a
backstage accident has left the group's Kelly
Rowland with two broken toes.
Rowland's tough break came on October 5 during
a quick backstage costume change at Denver's
Magness Arena, where the group was opening for
Christina Aguilera. According to Destiny's Child's
manager, Mathew Knowles, Kelly was struggling
to change in the dark when she fell over a ramp
and broke the second and third toes of her right
foot.
The R&B trio is currently winding down its road
trip with Aguilera, and Rowland continues to
perform while seated in a chair. Someone has
stepped in to fill Kelly's vacant dancing shoes:
14-year-old Solange, sister of the
group's Beyoncé, who is performing Rowland's
moves onstage.
Manager Knowles told MTV News that the group
will be leaving the tour two dates early so that
Kelly can recuperate.
