In 1987, Tina Turner announced the Break Every Rule World Tour as her farewell to the road. The industry filed it under finished. She was 47. They had already written her off once at 43 — given her two weeks to record, committed to barely promoting the result. That record sold 20 million copies. Now they were saying goodbye again. The tour broke records in 13 countries. Played to 4 million people. Then on January 16, 1988, at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, 188,000 people showed up — breaking Frank Sinatra's world record at the same stadium. Guinness Book of World Records. Largest paying concert attendance for a solo artist. She was 48. It was supposed to be her last tour. She toured again in 1990. And 1993. And 1996. And 2008.
