Beyonce called her “the Queen” after they performed together at the Grammys earlier this year. It is not the first time she has been referred to as the Queen of rock & roll or the Queen of R & B. And the Queen’s grand tour of 2008 just got grander. It is not billed as a farewell tour, but the concert-going public know when there is one show they do not want to miss. An extraordinary run on the box-office has led to six more concerts being added to Tina Turner’s gruelling schedule, across the States.

When the tour was first announced, anticipation began building and when tickets were released for the first show in Kansas City MO, they sold out within 2 minutes. If that is possible – sounds like a lot of jammed phone lines and ticket selling systems. But she is one popular lady. Extra concerts have been added to Kansas City, Boston, Toronto and Chicago, while new shows have been added in Hartford and Minneapolis.

Her last tour of the States was in 2000. In that year, following the success of her best selling album Twenty Four Seven, she cemented herself as a stadium rock superstar. She is rightly regarded as the first genuine female stadium rock superstar, selling out 120 stadiums across the US and Europe, and grossing $80 million in the US alone. The massive tour in 2000 was the biggest ever undertaken by a female artist, performing to more than 2 million people.

In 2008, with 24 shows scheduled, what can the fans expect? Tina is known for her high-energy action packed performances and a song list that extends back to the mid sixties. “River Deep, Mountain High”, “Proud Mary”, “What’s Love Got to do With it” and “Nutbush City Limits” are some of the favourites that the crowd can expect. But the greatest treat will be seeing the first diva of rock & roll in full flight, after an extended absence. After this will we have to wait another eight years? This might be the last chance ever to see the great Tina in concert.
