Tina Turner Announces Second Leg of North American Tour
Joe Cocker Announced as Special Guest
July 14, 2000 Due to the overwhelming response to her
recent Twenty Four Seven Tour, Tina Turner has decided to give her fans what
they want one last time. Sweeping through North America again with her
signature legs and sultry voice, Tina will embark on the second and final leg
of her wildly popular final tour. Presented by Target and promoted by SFX
Music Group, the tour is set to kick off on September 20th in Boston and
continue through early December, hitting 40 markets across the U.S. Tina has
reaffirmed that although she will continue to record and make special public
appearances, this will be her final major tour.
The first leg of Twenty Four Seven World Tour once again confirmed Tina
Turner's status as one of the finest performers and musicians of our time.
Tina's electrifying stage presence, described by USA Today as "her
irresistible show-biz sparkle [and] the raw energy and earthly sensuality that
have made her a rock and soul icon," helped the tour sell out in every city,
becoming one of the most successful of the year, grossing over 40 million
dollars. Backed by a 12-piece band including 7 musicians, 5 dancers and back-
up singers, Tina performed hit after hit spanning her entire 40-year career,
including high-octane versions of early R & B hits "A Fool In Love" and "River
Deep, Mountain High," as well as 1980's platinum-plus sellers "What's Love Got
To Do With It" and "Private Dancer" and her new singles "When The Heartache is
Over" and "Whatever You Need." The same magic will be present on the new set
of dates.
The tour coincides with the album Twenty Four Seven, which was released by
Virgin Records America on February 1st. The album entered the Billboard Top
200 Albums chart at Number 21, the highest album bow ever either as a solo
artist or as a partner with her former husband. The album was released in
Europe in October 1999, and has sold 3 million copies worldwide.
Joe Cocker will be Tina's special guest throughout the tour.
