Rock legend Tina Turner has played her final concert at Wembley Stadium on a farewell tour ending her career in the music business.
The star said goodbye to her English fans at the London venue after announcing she was bowing out of the industry.
Turner, who is retiring at the age of
60, performed the greatest hits of her 44-year career in an emotion-packed show.
She still looked stunning in her customary raunchy outfits, strutting her stuff in a skin-tight PVC catsuit, silver chain belt and 12cm stilettos.
The two-hour set included songs from her early days with Ike Turner, recent hits and covers of the Beatles' Help and Marvin Gaye's I Heard It Through The Grapevine.
* Yabba dabba doo! The father of The Flintstones is 90.
William Hanna, half of the Hanna-Barbera production team that created dozens of beloved TV cartoon series, including the story of "the modern Stone Age family," was honoured at a studio birthday party over the weekend.
As co-chairman of Hanna-Barbera, he still works daily at the office.
Hanna was a college dropout from New Mexico when he began working as an animator in 1930.
