Tina Turner played a two and a half hour show in New York's Madison Square Garden on Sunday, despite being hospitalised earlier that day with a severe fever. The singer reportedly couldn't bear to let down her fans and insisted on going ahead with the show. She even did a meet and greet with VIP guests, including Anne Hathaway, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, before going on stage. Although, the celebrities were apparently told that "no one is to shake her hand, and she cannot talk before performing. She's very shy".
