Tina Turner confirms arena tour
As previously reported, Turner revealed her plans for a tour on an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" late last month, according to the AP. The trek will kick off Oct. 1 in Kansas City, MO, and will consist of 18 cities through early December. Details are below.
Tickets for the tour will begin going on sale Saturday (5/10), with the Oct. 13 stop in Los Angeles the first available date. For complete ticketing information, see Turner's tour website.
The veteran singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recently emerged back into the public eye thanks to her performance at this year's Grammy Awards.
"After performing with Beyonce at The Grammy Awards, the response was overwhelming," Turner said in a statement. "Everywhere I went, people were asking me when I was going back on tour. So, after a lot of thought and planning, I can answer the only way I know how ... see you in Kansas City where we'll kick the tour off!"
Turner's most recent studio album was 1999's "Twenty Four Seven," which hit No. 21 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and spawned a mild dance-club hit in "When the Heartache is Over."
Last fall, the singer released "Celebrate: The Best of Tina Turner," a 95-minute DVD taken from a 1999 concert that celebrated her 60th birthday. The set showcases a number of her greatest hits, including "We Don't Need Another Hero," "The Best," "Mountain High" and many others.
