“I’m proud to have played a role in clearing that path for women of the next generation — and the next.”
She was speaking to celebrate five years of the smash hit West End show Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.
Tina, who stopped performing in 2009 after a 50th anniversary tour, said the show was the closest some would get to seeing her perform.
But she also joked: “Sometimes I think I’m as famous for my legs as my voice.
“I only had my legs on show so much as it made it much easier to dance. . . and then it became part of my style.
“When I was younger, I never felt confident about any part of my body, but with all the attention my legs got, I realized they had to be right.”
