Retired Rock legend Tina Turner paid a special visit to the still very active Rock legends, The Rolling Stones last night in Zurich. Last time Tina attended a Stones concert was at the same location in June 2014. Aware that Tina might attend the show, some fans made the trip to the Letzigrund Stadium in hope of a suprise duet between the two icons but no luck this time! Anyway always great to see Miss T. and her old pal Mick, unfiltered and looking terrific!

Let’s Dance – With David Bowie
“Let’s Dance” is the title-track from English singer David Bowie’s 1983 album of the same name. It was also released as the first single from that album in 1983 and went on to become one of his biggest-selling tracks. Stevie Ray Vaughan played the guitar solo at the end of the song.
The single was one of Bowie’s fastest selling, entering the UK Singles Chart at No. 5 on its first week of release, staying at the top of the charts for three weeks. Soon afterwards, the single topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Bowie’s second and last single to reach number-one in the U.S. In Oceania, it narrowly missed topping the Australian charts, peaking at No. 2, but peaked at number-one for 4 consecutive weeks in New Zealand. The single became one of the best selling of the year across North America, Central Europe and Oceania.
