Tina Turner Announces Final Leg Of Final Tour
Tina Turner has announced 39 dates for a final leg of what she is calling her final tour, extending the long farewell into November.
The legendary diva will conclude the European portion of the tour Aug. 5 in Sweden and then she'll take a month off before starting up again Sept. 20 in Boston. Turner will revisit several cities from the first part of her tour — including Boston, Cleveland, Albany, N.Y., and Denver — and she also will hit several new places, including Nashville, Birmingham, Ala., and Austin, Texas.
Joining her on the upcoming outing, set to conclude Nov. 29 in Seattle, will be British soul-singer Joe Cocker.
On her shows thus far, Turner has performed music spanning her 40-year career in energetic sets. From early hits, such as "Proud Mary" (RealAudio excerpt), to highlights of her '80s comeback, such as "What's Love Got To Do With It" (RealAudio excerpt), to material from her new album, last winter's Twenty Four Seven, Turner has packed her two-hour sets with material.
Turner recently said this will be her last major tour, but she also said she plans to continue recording and making public appearances.
