What's age got to do with it? Very little, as you would have seen at the O2 Arena in March.

November 26th this year marks the 70th birthday of one of music's greatest living legends: Ms Tina Turner.

Without her 50-year career there would be no Beyonce Knowles, such is the legacy and outstanding achievements of the woman dubbed 'The Queen of Rock 'n'Roll'.

From the city limits of Nutbush, Tennessee, to the Hollywood's Hall of Fame, Tina Turner has seen a life of success, abuse, heartache and love.

She has had a biopic made of her life, been nominated for Academy Awards, recorded a James Bond theme tune and performed with the biggest names in rock, including Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, David Bowie and Rod Stewart.
