Twenty Four Seven Tour (also known as the Twenty Four Seven Millennium Tour and 24/7 World Tour) is the eighth concert tour by American singer, Tina Turner. The tour promoted her final studio album ''Twenty Four Seven''. Although she stated this numerous times in the past, Turner announced that feat would be her final "show stopping" tour. She stated she would continue to make records and perform at small venues and award shows. The tour was sponsored by E *Trade. Actress Gloria Reuben served as a background dancer and singer during the first North American leg of the tour. According to Pollstar, the 2000 tour became the highest grossing tour in North America. This status was achieved over her peers, Barbra Streisand and Bruce Springsteen as well as, newcomers 'N Sync and Britney Spears. The North American tour dates grossed over $80 million. However, Turner would return to touring in 2008 with her anniversary tour. ==Background== After her recording breaking 1996 world tour, Turner decided to take a longer break between albums and tours. Initially, Turner planned an elaborate co-headlining tour with Elton John. The two performed a duet of Turner's hit "Proud Mary" and John's The Bitch is Back on the VH1 special, "Divas Live '99". During rehearsals, Turner felt unease with the music and stopped everyone from playing and then instructed John on how to play the song. The tour plans were cancelled and Turner went to the studio to record her final studio album. Along the way, Turner also performed the Super Bowl XXXIV presume ceremonies. To introduce the tour, Turner stated:〔 It's a play. It's an act. For the moment, it's a small movie, so to speak. That's why I like all of the stuff and the action and the playoff between me and the girls. It's life on that stage for that two hours. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Twenty Four Seven Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
