At 68, Tina Turner is still giving the youngsters a run for their money touring worldwide. She is currently set to play Chicago on October 4 and Dallas on October 27.
The last time Turner toured was back in 2000, when she "retired". After appearing with Beyonce on the 2008 Grammy Awards, there was apparently a groundswell for her return.
In press for her return, Tina is dishing on all things buzzing about her. On Beyonce:
People said, ‘You looked better than Beyoncé.’ Well, that’s not possible. It’s nice that young people hold me up as a model. Beyoncé is elegant and is handling her career well. A lot of new stars go overboard on sex. They’re half-naked up there. My dresses were a bit short, but I stayed respectable."SOURCE
On Ike:
"It meant nothing to me," she says. "He had been dead to me for 20 years." "When I left, I really left," she says. "It was a bad dream, and when you spend 16 years in a certain lifestyle, you never want to think about it again." Source
WOW. I would hate to be on her bad side. I kid. I kid.
Anyway, this woman is inspirational, as a survivor, a force of energy, and an icon. I should print these pictures and put them on my refrigerator as motivation. Hehehe!
Tina Turner is gonna be here in Los Ageles later this month. She’s gonna wear that stage out and tear Los Angeles up!
Well be sure and comment on how the concert was. I can’t get with that $150.00 price tag. Whew!
