Tina: The Tina Turner Musical is a jukebox musical with the melody of the iconic American singer 83.

Dame Kelly’s outing comes next that the debilitating symptoms of perimenopause are “killing” her.
The two-time Olympic champion said she experiences “constant pain” and night sweats but is “in denial of age.”
The athlete said, “I think perimenopause is killing me right now. As much as I deny it, it has certainly had an effect on my body.’

She described her symptoms as “body aches, pain, like constant pain all over the body, feeling lethargic.”
Kelly added; “Last week I only started sweating at night, which I’m not happy about. I think: “This is not good”. And it makes you more irritable. You feel like you’re not yourself.’
Perimenopause is the transition period before menopause, when women’s hormone levels begin to change, but before their periods have stopped for a full 12 months — thus reaching menopause. The NHS says perimenopause usually starts between 45 and 55.
During perimenopause, hormone levels change and the ovaries begin to produce fewer eggs. Symptoms may include hot flashes and night sweats, headache, dizziness, aches and pains, joint and muscle pain, and trouble sleeping.
