Eight-time Grammy Award winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tina Turner
is making her long-awaited return to arenas throughout the world.
Is this just another 'farewell tour'?
Tina Turner was Born in
Brownsville, Tennessee and raised in Nutbush, just like the song says and was in
recording sessions as early as 1953.
In 1958 she married guitarist and bandleader, Ike Turner, and in the 1960’s
they recorded a string of hits, including “A Fool In Love” and “It’s Gonna Work
Out Fine”. The recording of the ground breaking “River Deep, Mountain
High” with producer Phil Spector.
The 70’s brought hits such as “Proud Mary” and Tina’s self-penned “Nutbush
City Limits” but the marriage was disintegrating and after starring in The
Who's 1976 film of “Tommy”, Tina was ready to strike out on her own.
As the massively successful film “What's Love Got To Do With It” would later
depict, she had to haul her way up a mountain of debts and disinterest but in
1982 she landed a solo deal with Capitol Records and by the summer of '84 the
album “Private Dancer”, with its acclaimed singles “Let's Stay Together” and
“What's Love Got To Do With It”, was on its way to world sales of 11 million and
4 Grammys.
Since that time the successes have just kept coming: a starring role in Mad
Max Beyond Thunderdome; duets with Bryan Adams, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Mick
Jagger and Italian superstar, Eros Ramizotti amongst others; a best-selling
autobiography, 'I, Tina'; which was made into the critically acclaimed film
“What's Love Got to Do with It”, chronicling her life and receiving two Academy
Award nominations; a string of hit albums and awards; and sell-out world tours;
including:
*the 1986 “Break Every Rule” album and world tour. Tina entered the
record books when she performed in front of the largest paying audience ever
to see a single performer -186,000 spectators at the Macarana Stadium in Rio
de Janeiro;
*the 1989 “Foreign Affair” album and tour, spawning hits such as “Steamy
Windows” and “The Best”;
*the 1995 “Wildest Dreams” album and extensive world tour, breaking box
office records in 12 countries;
*in 2000 the phenomenally successful “Twenty Four Seven” millennium world
tour, the highest grossing US tour of the year.
In 2004 Tina released her last album, a compilation of Greatest Hits with the
newly recorded single "Open Arms".
In 2005 Tina was honoured as one of Oprah Winfrey’s legends, African-American
women who broke barriers through their work and ended the year as one of the
recipients in Washington DC of the Kennedy Center Honors, the highest form of
recognition of excellence in the arts in America.
In February 2008, Tina performed with Beyonce at the 50th Grammy Awards in
Los Angeles. She electrified the audience and received a standing ovation
for her performance and duet with Beyonce, and garnered highly positive reviews
in the press. It was due to this overwhelming reaction, and requests from
fans all over the world to perform live once again, that she has decided to do
some select concerts in North America and Europe.
With sales of 170 million albums and a phenomenal number of hit records to
her career; River Deep, Mountain High, Proud Mary, What’s Love Got To Do With
It, Better Be Good To Me, Typical Male, What You See is What You Get, Steamy
Windows, We Don’t Need Another Hero, Goldeneye, The Best … Tina Turner is the
most successful female rock artist of all time and the undisputed Queen of Rock
N Roll.
