Tina Turner may have had her last strut.
She may have belted her last heartbreaker, shaken her last shake, electrified her last arena. Tina Turner has no plans to come back.
Why would she? She's 66, you know. She has done it all. Life is peaceful now.
But if you talk to Turner, one of the greatest women in the history of rock-and-roll, you will find that (yes!) she still thinks about it. Now and then.
She says, for example, that if she tours again, she will do it before she turns 70. Better news: She says that in London she has been working out with her dancers.
"So I am keeping up with the steps," she says.
She won't say much more.
But she knows the unmistakable voice will be ready, requiring only minimal upkeep.
"I don't catch colds. I worry about my health," says Turner. "But you know country people, we have been yelling and singing all our lives."
So, maybe . . .
