It seems to me that all the 70s and 80s musicians are doing comeback tours. While only a handful of them are successful, more and more megastars are hopping on the comeback tour bandwagon.

I generally encourage comebacks as long as some new material is presented and I'm definitely looking forward to Tina Turner's new tracks.

Tina Turner has recorded two new songs for a compilation CD that will be released just in time for the October 1 start of her comeback tour in Kansas City, Mo.

"It Would Be a Crime" and "I'm Ready" will be found on "Tina!," due September 30 via Capitol. They join 16 hits spanning Turner's career, including "Nutbush City Limits" and "What's Love Got To Do With It."

The digital version of "Tina!" will include different versions of "River Deep Mountain High" and "The Acid Queen" than the CD.

Dates for the new tour are on the books through early April in Europe.

rpshen, I like this story. It's good stuff.

That Woman is amassing, I went to a concert of her with my Dotter and Son a couple of years ago and she had energy and a remarkable voice! Now my Dotter was a fan but I did become one after that concert in Europe!

rpshen, I like this story. It's good stuff. She really does just keep going - and good to see at least some new material - be even better if she records a full album of new songs - Neil Diamond has just had one of his biggest ever albums - new material!

70's and 80's I saw her all the time with her husband Ike in LA in the 60's. I thought she was old then.
