Tina Turner had escaped Ike Turner, but the music industry had written her off.
A Black woman in her 40s? They pushed her toward the “oldies” circuit.

Then came January 1983.

David Bowie was out to dinner with his new label. Instead of staying, he told them,
“I’m going to see Tina Turner perform.”

He didn’t ask—he insisted.

Her manager got a frantic call:
Bowie needed 63 spots on the guest list.

Tina called it her “Cinderella moment.” That night at the Ritz in NYC changed everything.

After the show, she drank Dom with Bowie, Keith Richards, and Ron Wood—belting Motown songs around a piano, passing around a bottle of Jack Daniels.

That moment made it clear:

Tina Turner wasn’t an old act.

She was a rock star reborn.
