Tina Turner plans new tour
Tina Turner is embarking on her first tour in eight years in the autumn, starting in Kansas City.

The tour will start in North America but may expand to include dates in Europe and around the world, according to reports.

The 68-year-old singer announced the event on Oprah Winfrey's show, in front of a crowd of 4,000.

Officially, the tour is expected to be confirmed by the "Simply the Best" star when the show airs next week. Tickets are expected to go on sale on May 12th.

The arena tour will reportedly be promoted by AEG live and will include close to 40 shows in North America.

The star performed with Beyonce last February at the Grammy's, and was introduced on stage simply as "the queen".

Her last tour in 2000 was said to be her last, and grossed $110 million. At the time, it was the top-selling tour by a female artist, although this record has since been beaten by Madonna and Cher.End of story
