As previously reported by Singersroom, Tina Turner will return to the stage this fall for her 2008 North American Tour, her first in over eight years. The eight-time Grammy Award winning artist and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer will make her long-awaited return to arenas throughout North America starting October 1st at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO.

“After performing with Beyonce at The Grammy Awards, the response was overwhelming,” commented Tina. “Everywhere I went people were asking me when I was going back on tour. So after a lot of thought and planning, I can answer the only way I know how …. See you in Kansas City where we’ll kick the tour off!”

Tickets for the tour which will feature hit after hit spanning Turner’s entire career go on sale for most cities this week. The 17 city tour is expected to wrap up December 8th in Montreal, QB.
