She has been in the great and the good of the music industry for 60 years.
And Tina Turner, 78, proved she hadn’t aged a day at the opening night of Tina, the West End show production about her life, at Aldwych Theatre, in London on Tuesday.
Nothing short of spectacular, the 11-times Grammy winner showcased her age-defying complexion on arrival at the A-list affair.
The glamorous songstress had a box fringe which was perfect to frame her face and she styled her glossy locks in a sleek fashion.

‘Tina’ charts the story of her life from her humble beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, to establishing herself in the limelight as the queen of Rock n Roll.
The musical captures the superstar’s determination and courage to defy the boundaries of her age, gender and race.
West End actress Adrienne Warren will play the songstress while Kobna Holdbrook-Smith will take on the role of her husband Ike.
