When Tina Turner Broke A World Record In Rio De Janeiro, 1988
Performing to a sold-out crowd of 180,000, Tina Turner’s 1988 concert in Rio De Janeiro put her name in the ‘Guinness Book Of Records’.
Tina Turner ’s Break Every Rule tour proved to be an epic musical odyssey that would see the raspy-voiced Tennessee diva perform in 132 different cities around the world during 12 gruelling months on the road. It was initially billed as the singer’s farewell to live performing, and perhaps that’s why, on a balmy evening in Rio De Janeiro, on Saturday, 16 January 1988, a jaw-dropping 180,000 people crammed into the Maracanã stadium, Brazil’s iconic cathedral of football, to see the “Queen Of Rock And Roll” strut her stuff in person. Eight years earlier, the legendary crooner Frank Sinatra, had drawn a whopping 170,000 souls into the Maracanã, but his place in the record books was erased to make way for Turner, who entered The Guinness Book Of Records by performing in front of the biggest fee-paying crowd that had ever turned out for a concert by a single artist.

A record-breaking tour
By the time that the 48-year-old Turner, her musicians and entourage set foot in Brazil in early 1988, the singer had already travelled halfway round the globe. Ostensibly aimed at promoting her top-selling 1986 album, Break Every Rule , her tour of the same name began on 4 March 1987 in Munich, Germany – the starting point for a mammoth sojourn that would see Turner conquer continental Europe and the UK first, then cross the Mediterranean to Tel Aviv, Israel, followed by an Atlantic crossing for a five-month haul through the US and Canada, where she was supported by the British group Level 42.
The US leg of the tour finished in December 1987 and, after two weeks off for the holiday season, Turner began her assault on South America on 3 January 1988, when she debuted in Argentina, followed by appearances in Brazil and Chile. Then came a brief stopover in Honolulu, Hawaii – the stepping stone to the final leg of the tour, which saw Turner fly across the Pacific to South East Asia, Australia and, finally, Japan, where she concluded her record-breaking tour on 30 March 1988.
Rio 1988: a humongous crowd with transformative energy
Though the final Break Every Rule concert was in Osaka, where Turner played to 10,000 people, that gig must have seemed like an intimate club date compared with the epic scale of the Rio concert, where the humongous crowd generated an infectious and transformative energy that was clearly apparent on the VHS video of the event that was released later in 1988. Watching Turner on stage, it’s noticeable how the crowd elevated her performance to another level. The video, which was reissued on DVD in 2001, didn’t reproduce the complete 16 January concert, but rather whittled Turner’s performance down to 53 minutes by selecting 13 tracks from the 20 that the singer and her nine-piece band, which included two horn players and a percussionist, performed on the night.
Attired in a figure-hugging white top with frilled edges, a short tan skirt and her trademark stiletto heels, Tina Turner looked every inch an iconic rock goddess on the Maracanã stage. The concert’s opening number was a feisty cover of Robert Palmer’s grinding 1985 rock anthem Addicted To Love, a tune that Turner never recorded in the studio, but which had become a staple of her in-concert repertoire since 1986. (A live version appeared on her 1988 album, Tina Live In Europe , which drew on material recorded during the Break Every Rule tour.)
Most of the night’s other songs came from the Private Dancer and Break Every Rule albums, though the inclusion of a tumultuous version of Proud Mary – the Creedence Clearwater Revival song that Turner first recorded with her abusive ex-husband, Ike Turner – offered a brief but enjoyable sample of her 60s back catalogue.
Despite initially being viewed as a farewell tour, midway through her itinerary Turner clarified, in an interview with Jet magazine, that she wasn’t planning on putting away her microphone for good. It would be her “last tour for now”, she said, adding, “There probably won’t be a tour with the next album because I want to devote some time to my movie career. But I don’t plan to retire. I decided I would really love to have a year off for the first time in my life.”
A triumphant finale
After a brief hiatus following the gargantuan Break Every Rule tour, Tina Turner would pick up the music baton again and go on to experience many more career highs before finally calling it a day in 2009. She was by that time, she told The New York Times , “just tired of singing and making everybody happy”.
Though she closed her long and illustrious career with a triumphant finale in the shape of her 2009 Tina! 50th Anniversary Tour, nothing else quite matched the scale of the earlier Break Every Rule tour, which saw Turner perform 320 concerts in front of over 1.7 million people around the world. Certainly, none of her concerts eclipsed the magnitude of that record-breaking night in Rio De Janeiro, in January 1988, when Tina Turner peered out from the stage to see 188,000 adoring faces staring back at her.

When Tina Turner Set a Guinness World Record
By kenneth partridge | may 26, 2023.
Following Tina Turner’s death on May 24, 2023, at the age of 83, fans around the world have been paying tribute to the legendary “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll” and celebrating her many accomplishments. Over the course of her incredible five-decade career, the long-legged, raspy-voiced, eternally youthful singer sold more than 150 million records and earned 12 Grammys. She was twice inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame—first as a member of Ike and Tina Turner, and later as a solo artist. She also set one astounding concert-attendance record that many people might not be aware of.
On January 16, 1988, Turner performed for approximately 188,000 fans at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In doing so, she set a Guinness World Record for “largest paying concert attendance for a solo artist.” The previous record, 170,000 fans, had been set by Frank Sinatra at the very same stadium eight years earlier.
At the time, Turner was midway through her Break Every Rule Tour, a triumphant global trek that launched in Munich, Germany, on March 4, 1987, and ended in Osaka, Japan, on March 30, 1988. Along the way, Turner played 209 concerts in 132 cities. The tour was initially billed as Turner’s farewell to the road, but in an October 1987 interview with Jet magazine , she clarified that it would be her “last tour for now.” She wanted to take a year off and enjoy a little downtime.
But first, she had a show to do, and as always, she gave it her all. At the record-breaking Rio de Janeiro concert, Turner performed 19 songs and cycled through three miniskirts, undeterred by temps in the high 80s. While Turner was undoubtedly a sex symbol, the audience skewed heavily female, according to a UPI recap . It’s likely many women were inspired by the way Turner had left her abusive husband, Ike, and forged a successful solo career in the ’80s.
“This is important,” a 37-year-old fan named Angela Almeida told UPI. “She transmits that side of her, of suffering, and I certainly feel that.”
Brazil’s deep and abiding love for Tina Turner is evident in footage of the show , which was released on video as Tina Turner: Live in Rio 1988 . “The audience was incredible,” Turner said after the concert. “They really took over.”

‘Such a legend!': Tina Turner to be honored with six-foot-tall bronze statue in her hometown one year after death
BROWNSVILLE, TENNESSEE: Tina Turner is set to be immortalized in her hometown of Brownsville, Tennessee.
Local leaders have approved the creation of a six-foot-tall bronze statue in her honor, a year after the city's mayor, Bill Rawls Jr, first pledged to do so.
A tribute to Tina Turner: Bronze statue to be set up in heritage park
"The city has decided to fund a six-foot-tall bronze statue that will be placed in the city's Heritage Park," Rawls told TMZ.
The park is located near the high school that Turner attended. The statue, which is estimated to cost around $150,000 will be initially funded by the city before public or private funds cover the rest.
"The fundraising is starting ASAP," Rawls said, expressing confidence about raising the necessary funds. The statue will be crafted by sculptor Fred "Ajano" Ajanogha and is expected to be unveiled in fall 2025.
A new plaza is also on the cards with Tina Turner's statue serving as the centerpiece
In addition to the statue, the city plans to build a large new plaza in the park with Turner's statue serving as "the centerpiece."
The city already houses Tina Turner Museum and a plaza dedicated to the ‘Queen of Rock & Roll' seems a fitting addition.
"The city wants to honor Tina in the biggest way it can, and thinks putting the statue right near her old high school is the best way to keep her memory alive," Rawls said, according to the publication.
Tina Turner was born as Anna Mae Bullock in 1939
Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939, in Nutbush, Tennessee, died last year on May 24 at the age of 83, in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, where she lived.
She had been facing several health problems. Turner, sometimes nicknamed the 'Queen of Rock ‘n' Roll', won six of her eight Grammy Awards in the 1980s. Her 1988 show in Rio de Janeiro drew 180,000 people, one of the largest concert audiences for any single performer.
Internet supports setting up of Tina Turner's statue at her hometown
The internet has been jubilant over the news with many expressing that this is a well-deserved honor for the legend. "Much deserved!" wrote one Instagram user.
"Such a legend!! Well deserved," another commented. "This is such an honor to her," added another.

Reaching stardom later in life: Tina Turner musical chronicles life of rock icon
Credit: CONTRIBUTED
Tina Turner, the empowering, vibrant Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, didn’t reach superstardom until she was 43. She was nearly 70 when she launched her final tour in North America and Europe. Age was just a number to the influential artist, whose troubled life and legendary career provides the dramatic, uplifting and incredibly tuneful foundation for “Tina — The Tina Turner Musical,” receiving its local premiere April 9-14 at the Schuster Center courtesy of Dayton Live’s Premier Health Broadway Series.
Rising to amazing heights as a bankable worldwide star and sex symbol during her senior years made Turner a rare commodity in the entertainment industry, but it also spoke to her determination and grit to succeed at all costs. Once she decided to leave her abusive husband Ike in 1976, escaping her Dallas hotel room with only 36 cents and a credit card, there was no turning back.
“She had an entire career — 16 years with Ike — where she wasn’t making a dime,” said Roz White, who portrays Zelma Bullock, Turner’s prickly, stern mother. “She got to wear some cute clothes but he never paid her. She didn’t have the benefits of the fruits of her labor. By the time she was in her mid-40s, she had to stay sexy, she had to stay strong, she had to stay visible and be somebody who could be a symbol in order to make her money. Sometimes we have to keep working. I just had my 600th show with ‘Tina,’ but I know what it’s like to still have dreams and goals that haven’t worked out yet because that’s just the (nature of the) business.”
White, whose touring and regional credits include “Dreamgirls,” “The Amen Corner” and “Seven Guitars,” praises Turner for having the confidence to step out of her comfort zone in her prime. Growing up in Washington, D.C., she recalls the reactions among the Black community in response to Turner’s transformation circa her 1984 platinum album “Private Dancer.”
“Tina was willing to ditch one look for a totally different look,” she explained. “I remember the older women in my life wondering why she was wearing blonde spiky hair and short skirts in her 40s. They wanted her to go and sit down somewhere. But Tina had to do it. It was her destiny. She also knew she had to continue to do it well into her 60s so people could see that it could be done.”
The early years
Born Anna Mae Bullock and raised in rural Nutbush, Tennessee, Turner had a rough childhood. She was the youngest daughter of Floyd, a sharecropper overseer, and Zelma. In 1950, when Turner was 11, Zelma unexpectedly left the family due to Floyd’s abusive behavior, relocating to St. Louis. At 16, Turner joined her mother after the death of her grandmother and would eventually meet Ike one fateful night at Club Manhattan.
“Zelma is a very complex character, but she’s important because we often see African American women portrayed in film and on stage as the nurturer; and Zelma was not happy in her situation,” said White, 54. “She did not have the happiness within herself to be a nurturing mother. There was no real bond between Zelma and Tina. I think it’s important to show there are all different kinds of women and all different kinds of mothers. And no matter what kind of mother, the relationship is still important because it defines everything in your life. The choices Zelma made, whether you agree or not, are the choices that allowed Tina a space to come to meet Ike. Pleasant or not, it was a part of her journey.”
White also admires how Turner’s life was the ultimate comeback story of overcoming adversity, breaking barriers and pushing through pain.
“Tina didn’t do anything calculated,” she said. “She literally lived her life. Her life was so full. She didn’t allow her circumstances to keep her in Nutbush or allow her circumstances to keep her with Ike longer than she needed to. It was an over 50-year journey for her to become an icon.”
Staged by Tony Award nominee Phyllida Lloyd — best known for directing the films “Mamma Mia!” and “The Iron Lady” — “Tina” features over 20 classics, including “Nutbush City Limits,” “River Deep-Mountain High,” “Proud Mary,” “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)” to name a few. The magnitude of Turner’s timeless catalog, especially among her legion of fans, continues to energize the cast. Ari Groover and Zurin Villanueva notably share the titular role as well.
“There’s something about a show when the curtain goes up and you only see a woman standing in front of a staircase and the crowd goes nuts. And she hasn’t opened her mouth. That is power,” White said. “And that kind of power doesn’t happen overnight. And Tina’s power is still present with us even after her physical presence has left, which is huge. She’s more than a name.”
Turner, a best-selling performer and author (”I, Tina”) who sold more than 100 million records, was the recipient of eight Grammys, the Kennedy Center Honors, and two inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame among other accolades. She passed away on May 24, 2023, at age 83 in her home in Switzerland near Lake Zurich, but her legacy as an inspiration to generations of women will forever stand as a testament of her being simply the best.
“Tina did what she did so I could have a chance to do what I want to do in my 50s,” White said. “She also (inspires) the young women I’m on stage with who are in their 40s, 30s and 20s. We also have a couple of 10-year-olds with us. It’s all about legacy.”
