Mathew Knowles, the former manager of Destiny's Child, has said that he is "extremely hopeful" that the band will reform.

The band split back in 2006 after an impressive 16 years together. Despite their huge success, they were plagued by internal conflict, which was partly prompted by Knowles' perceived favouritism towards Kelly Rowland and his daughter Beyonce.

The band have briefly reunited several times since their split - most recently at the 2015 Stellar Gospel Music Awards, where Rowland and Michelle Williams performed Williams' single 'Say Yes'.

Knowles still manages projected related to Destiny's Child contractually, and recently spoke to The Huffington Post about the possibility of a reunion. "I am extremely hopeful that the ladies will come back with an album and a tour," he said, "I’m working on a few Destiny’s Child projects right now."

He added, "My second book will be the autobiography of Destiny’s Child. I’m talking to the film and TV community right now, regarding a Destiny’s Child movie or TV series of some sort. But I still manage the ladies - Destiny’s Child - and I’m hopeful that within the next two to three years we’ll see something major come from it."

It's worth noting that Knowles can be as hopeful as he likes, but he'll need to persuade the members to get on board first - including Beyonce, who's pretty busy being the biggest popstar on the planet.
