The queen of rock ‘n’ roll isn’t feeling dynamo.

Tina Turner has postponed two UK shows — at London’s O2 Arena and the Sheffield Arena — due to a respiratory flu. The eight-time Grammy winner was expected to play at 02 Arena Wednesday night and Sheffield on Thursday. In a statement posted on Billboard, Turner apologized to her fans.

Tina always wants to give 100 [percent] and has been overwhelmed by the reaction from her UK fans at the gigs. She regrets this decision to postpone and the inconvenience to all those fans with tickets, but wants to make sure each concert she does is memorable for everyone.

The postponed dates are rescheduled for May. The tour kicked off in the United States on October 1 and runs through Europe until April.

Wow. She’s smart to do this. A little flu goes a long way when you’re working that hard. She needs to rest and rally all her resources.

Tina! We love you! Get well soon!

With all the talk of what has happened between Rhianna and Chris Brown, how interesting it is to see an article about who (in my opinion) represents the poster child for a female singer who chose to stay in a mutually combative relationship. Although Tina didn’t do anywhere the amount of damage to him that Ike Turner did to her. And here we are decades later and she is still beautiful, physical fit enough to perform for the most part, and free from the ghosts of her past. Independent and living life on HER terms. In the end it was Tina and not Ike that ended up with the good life, while he was left to die a broken man. What’s that smell Ike? Karma……. aah so sweet a smell. :-)

I know what she’s feeling. My bronchitis is turning into respiratory flu. I just don’t want to have to take another trip to the doctors just yet. :sighs:

Tina, hope you’re feeling better soon.
