Just in case you needed a reminder why she is “simply the best,” Queen of Rock & Roll Tina Turner looked every bit the part when she stepped out in London last night (April 17) to celebrate the premiere of ‘Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.’ A biographical musical based on her life (as we previously reported here), the legendary songstress and husband Erwin Bach took to the event’s long-awaited opening in Londontown’s famed Aldwych Theater.
Dressed down in all black and all smiles for what’s reportedly her first red carpet appearance in half a decade, Turner toasted Tony-nominated performer Adrienne Warren (who plays her in the musical), took pics with all the cast, and looked to be quite pleased with the show.

The elusive Turner, who has certainly attended events over the last few years since her announced retirement, used the premiere as her return to the red carpet. The musical comes ahead of the icon’s soon-to-come tell-all book (click here to read more on that).
THE QUEEN
Legend.
I love how she bowed out gracefully and didn’t try to prolong her career. Tina gave all she could give and even tho I want her to F*** Up the new stages and embarrass these new girls, Tina has nothing left to prove. She is THE!
OMG, so true! I wish some other legends would take a page out of Tina’s book, instead of tarnishing their career.
Tina Turner is the GREATEST female performer of all time.
Thanks to Ike Turner she was a lazy performer he beat the crap out of her to make her perform ….. otherwise she’d be a broke b**** from nutbush
A real QUEEN. An original one.
If I was Ike I would have been whooping her ass too, b**** we too broke you need to get on stage and sing I slap the s*** out of her too
