Legendary singer Tina Turner died earlier this week at the age of 83. The singer was world renowned for her fantastic voice and stage presence. 

She regularly took part in tours that took her all over the world. On many occasions, these global tours brought her to Manchester. 

Over the course of her career, she played in Manchester on 11 different occasions. The first of these was back in 1974 when she appeared as one half of Ike and Tina Turner at the Palace Theatre.
