Tina Turner is set to announce details of a new US tour, despite having claimed she had retired from playing live eight years ago.

The star revealed that she would embark on a US tour in October while speaking to Oprah Winfrey on US television. She said that the tour would begin in Kansas City.

Full tour dates are expected to be announced soon, with tickets set to go on sale on May 12.
