*Tina Turner has added more shows to keep up with fan demand surrounding her upcoming North American tour, which is expected to feature a major production to complement hits spanning Turner's four-decade career.

       The initial round of concerts went on sale May 10 and the launch date--Oct. 1 in Kansas City, MO--sold out in two minutes. More performances were added last week and now, second nights have been added in San Jose, CA; Newark, NJ; and Uniondale, NY, while a third gig was tacked on in the Los Angeles area.
