The Rolling Stones hire Tina Turner impersonator as background singer for their US tour

The Rolling Stones have hired a Tina Turner impersonator as a background singer for their upcoming US tour.

Sir Mick Jagger, 80, Keith Richards, 80, and Ronnie Wood, 76, will go on tour in 2024 to promote their new album “Hackney Diamonds.” They will be accompanied by former “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical” star Chanel Haynes.

Chanel teamed up with the Stones to perform “Gimme Shelter” at their Milan show in June 2022.

A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “The Stones had a very close relationship with Tina and Chanel blew her away when she came on stage with them.”

“Chanel has now been booked as one of their backing singers and will tour America with them in the spring.”

Chanel is said to be delighted to collaborate with the “Satisfaction” hitmakers.

The source added: “It means the world to her and the band were just happy to be able to help her.”

The band’s two-month stadium tour begins on April 28 in Houston.

Elsewhere on their tour, the Stones will stop at the New Orleans Jazz Festival on May 2, play a concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on May 23, and end their tour on July 17 in Santa Clara, California.

Singing sensation Tina died in May at the age of 83.

The ‘Simply The Best’ singer previously claimed she taught Mick how to perfect the ‘pony’ dance move, which was a regular feature on dance floors in the 1960s.

Tina once said: “Mick wanted to dance – and I was a dancer – but he never gave me the recognition for it.

“He said his mother taught him to dance. But we worked with him in the dressing room, me and the girls, and we taught him to pony dance.”
