Retired Tina Turner to tour again

Veteran singer Tina Turner has revealed plans to tour the US, despite announcing her retirement from performing on the road eight years ago.

 

The 68-year-old pop legend told TV host Oprah Winfrey the tour would kick off in October in Kansas City.

 

In 2000 the Grammy-winning singer played a farewell world tour that was supposed to mark the end of her career as a live performer.

 

Tickets for the tour are due to go on sale on 12 May.

 

Turner announced her retirement plans during the first concert of her world tour in Zurich.

 

At the time her spokesman said she was bowing out because "she wants to go out at the top."

 

Best known for hits such as Simply The Best and What's Love Got To Do With It?, she rose to prominence in the mid-1960s with husband Ike, who died last year.

 

Their violent relationship, which featured in a film about her life, caused her to leave him in 1975.

 

Since then she achieved commercial success in both the UK and US.

 

Is this a good move for Tina? Should she tour again?

 

Isn't she doing a one-off show with Cher?

the film of her life is one of my favourites. but that may be because it has one of the bst guitar riffs that fits so well with acertain sad part in the film when she finally escapes from ike to the ramada inn. if anyone knows where I could get a copy of the music I would be eternally grateful!!!
