Guess Who?
Who’s fabulous pins are these? Hint: Retirement ain’t for a girl who likes it rough.
Answer after the jump!
Big shocker, it’s Tina Turner, who recently came out of retirement to do a series of shows…and by all accounts, she totally brings it. Without the hyper-manic circus that is Brit’s stage show, with a backup band and a few dancers plus her own indomitable self (not to mention that amazing voice), Tina still manages to bring the house down at 69 years old. Yes!
Here’s a bit of a review:
A lambent, lavishly staged, expertly choreographed, hit-strewn performance injected such new life into barnacled old tosh such as The Best, that even those marooned at the back of the O2 were dancing like it was 1989.
Turner will be 70 in November, but even after two high-octane hours, backed by a supertight band including Seventies hitmaker John Miles, she spent Nutbush City Limits gyrating like a frisky puppy on a giant crane as it swooped her above the audience.
Then, she was dressed as a toreador, but that was Turner at her most dressed, if we exclude the grim evening dress and Bet Lynch wig on We Don’t Need Another Hero.
If the prospect of a pensioner in a microskirt telling us she likes it (whatever “it” may be) “rough”, makes anyone not a man over 75 feel slightly queasy, then, in this case at least, it’s time to think again.
Naturally, where she aches this morning must remain between her and her doctor but I was exhausted just watching her. Glorious.
Brit, take a few notes: Choreography is great, and has its place; but sometimes, less is more. You don’t have to be almost naked to be sexy; you don’t have to hide behind lavish production numbers for your true fans to like you.

Tina is amazing at 69 years old. I don’t even have her energy. I don’t think I ever did.
I am SO glad that she is still going strong.
And those legs! WOW! Fantastic.
I hope Ike is turning over in his grave.
Karma is a bitch……amirite Ike?
