    Michelle Williams is always paranoid about falling when she's on stage with Destiny's Child

    The 46-year-old singer and bandmate Kelly Rowland reunited with Beyonce on her Cowboy Carter tour last month, and Michelle spent the entire performance worrying about losing her footing after taking a stumble on TV back in 2004 when the group were promoting their final studio album on BET's 106 + Park


    Speaking on Checking In w/ Record Breakers, Michelle said: "I was trying to stay focused because y'all know I still have trauma from falling on 106 + Park.

    "I need y'all to be my therapist about that too, because every time I perform with the girls, it's in my head: 'Do not fall, do not fall, do not fall.'"

    To help reduce her risk of falling, Michelle enlisted former Destiny's Child stylist Ty Hunter to cut the fringe off the bottom of her trousers, but jokingly branded him "such a butthole at times" after he took her request to the head of wardrobe for the tour.

    She said: "Ty Hunter is like, child, we got to cut these fringes off because we do not want Michelle to fall.

    "I was like, 'Bro, that was between me and you. You didn't have to make no announcement.' But yeah, that's still in my head. Steps do frighten me now."

    Michelle made sure she rehearsed the steps but still didn't "trust" her footwork.

    She said: "Did I rehearse them steps? Sure did.

    "And then when it came to I was like, oh my gosh, you dummy. You let fear or lack of trust [in] on that first step, because y'all, I was like, I'm not gonna let social media do me. I'm not.

    "Because if that were to happen, and I fell, I would not be able to live that down for the next 20 years. So that's probably the only thing I didn't like, was that I didn't trust the steps."

    But despite her concerns, Michelle still had a blast when she took to the stage alongside her Destiny's Child bandmates at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium on 26 July.

    She said: . "We turned into little girls again, them teenage girls, those younger girls who just wanted to sing, dance and travel the world. And Beyoncé was like, 'Y'all, let's have fun. We just gonna go out here and have fun. Whatever happens happens, but we're gonna have fun.'

    " "I knew we were gonna have fun. We always have fun. But when you come from Destiny's Child, and then when you see the level of excellence that Beyoncé performs at, you step it up, right?"

    The trio's first performance together since Beyonce's 2018 Coachella performance saw the Texas Hold 'Em singer disappear beneath the stage as the group's Independent Woman played and when she reemerged, she was in silhouette with her bandmates either side, striking a Charlie's Angels pose.

    As they walked down the stage catwalk, Beyonce said: "Destiny's Child, b****."

    The trio then performed their 2005 single Lose My Breath, Beyonce's song Energy, and 2001's Bootylicious.
