Tina Turner concert chronology

Foreign Affair: The Farewell Tour (also known as the Foreign Affair: European Tour 1990[1][2]) is the seventh concert tour by singer Tina Turner. The tour supported her seventh studio album Foreign Affair (1989). The tour was Turner's first stadium tour and only reached European countries. Overall, the tour was attended by approximately three million people—breaking the record for a European tour that was previously set by The Rolling Stones.[3][4][5]

The tour is notable as Turner's only tour to not reach North America[a]. Since the tour was considered a farewell tour (at that time), Turner wanted to exclusively tour Europe to thank her fans for supporting her career after she became a solo artist.
