. Despite current issues in South Africa for concert tours, Turner's South African leg proved to be successful playing to over 100,000 spectators.

Elements of the stage can be seen in Turner's 50th Anniversary Tour,(which took place in 2008 and 2009).

While promoting the North American leg of the tour, it was announced talk show personality Oprah Winfrey

"She is our goddess of rock 'n' roll. We are going to be right there with Miss Tina. We're going on tour with Tina. 'The Oprah Show' is actually going on the road with Tina. I am the biggest Tina Turner fan there is. It is my wildest dream."

In her own words, Turner believed this could be her best tour in North America. She further commented,

"It could be my best tour ever in America. When I walk on stage, there's such a feeling of faces looking back at me with love and admiration. [And] it turns into a togetherness. It really is about a desire from the people. The last tour I actually announced to my audience that I would be back. It was only because of that feeling, because that's the kind of audience I have."
