We saw a lot of designers do it during New York Fashion Week, and after tonight's 50th Grammy Awards, it's been confirmed: retro music is back, and in a big way!
Instead of remixing retro, last night's music awards show saw two hot new artists bring back two hot artists of days past. Kanye West reintroduced Daft Punk while Beyonce Knowles helped launch Tina Turner back into the spot light after being introduced on stage by Cher.
Even next to 26 year old Beyonce, Tina Turner looked absolutely bootylicious for her 67 years!
"This was the rock veteran's first stage appearance in several years. Turner, dressed in a skin-tight silver pant-suit, sang three songs, including her hits 'What's Love Got To Do With It' and 'Better Be Good To Me', as well as a duet of 'Proud Mary' with Beyonce," NME reported.
