Her next single is currently being air played in the UK, which has had mixed reactions from listeners. Former members:. She is currently preparing for the release of her next album, which is a greatest hits with two new tracks. The band currently consists of the following members:. Now semi-retired, she teamed up with Phil Collins to record a song for the Disney film Brother Bear (2003). As of July 2002, Weezer had sold more than 5,000,000 copies of their albums. Her home there sits atop Mont Vinaigrier, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The DVD hit hard on the DVD compilation charts and was declared "Gold" on November 8, 2004.

In addition to a lakeshore home on the Goldküste, the most exclusive district of Zurich, Switzerland, Turner has an estate in France at Villefranche-sur-Mer, a small town about 4 miles (6km) east of the city of Nice. Titled "Video Capture Device", the DVD contains all of their current music videos, live concerts, and homemade movies. She gained great popularity throughout Europe and moved there permanently in 1986 to share a home with Erwin Bach, a German-born EMI record company executive 16 years her junior. In March of 2004, Weezer released their first DVD. She also raised Ike's two sons from his previous marriage. "Keep Fishin'" combined Weezer with The Muppets and became an MTV staple. Tina has two natural sons (one is Ike's, the other from a previous relationship with a musician from the Kings of Rhythm). However, it was the follow up, "Keep Fishin'", that would place Weezer in an elite group of defining music video makers of the early 2000s.

Her last world tour, which ended in 2000, was a sell out. Their video for "Photograph" was a staple for Much Music USA (now Fuse). Maladroit's "Dope Nose" was unspectacular at best, though it was put into a rather regular rotation. In 1995, she recorded the title theme of the James Bond movie GoldenEye. They then recorded two videos for "Island in the Sun," the first focusing on a Mexican wedding, and the second involving Weezer with animals in a wildlife reserve. She led several extensive world tours in the 1980s and 1990's and released several more successful albums. It would take the sumo clip of "Hash Pipe" (or as the title card stated, "H*** Pipe") to bring Weezer back into the eyes of music video viewers. In 1985, she appeared as Aunty Entity in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome with Mel Gibson, and scored another hit with the movie's theme song, "We Don't Need Another Hero". However, Weezer's Pinkerton videos were not well played and quickly forgotten.

The 1984 album Private Dancer had three top ten singles: "What's Love Got to Do with It", the title track, and "Better Be Good To Me". The video is akin to other defining videos of the 90s such as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight," because all three of these videos helped the artists reach an audience not often reached by alternative rock bands. She began touring extensively to pay the bills and released several solo albums in the 1970s, but her career stalled until teaming with BEF for a remake of "Ball of Confusion" drawing the attention of Capitol Records. While "Undone (The Sweater Song)" was big on MTV, it was the Spike Jonze-directed "Buddy Holly" video, which used footage from various episodes of Happy Days, that made them pop icons. To put the marriage (and Ike) behind her, Tina left the marriage with no money or property, asking for and retaining only the use of the stage name Ike had given her. Weezer is also very well known for their innovative music videos. Tina finalized her divorce in 1978 after 18 years of marriage, accusing Turner of years of severe spousal abuse and rampant drug addiction in her autobiography I, Tina, which was later made into the film What's Love Got to Do with It. Later the name Goat Punishment was used while the members of Weezer recorded a show for the HBO concert series, Reverb.

Around this time, she appeared solo in a memorable cameo as the Gypsy Acid Queen in the film of The Who's Tommy rock opera. Their first shows under the pseudonym featured the new Weezer lineup (now featuring Mikey Welsh) playing covers of songs by Nirvana and Oasis. She credits her newfound Buhddist faith with giving her the courage to strike out on her own. Weezer has also played several shows under the pseudonym Goat Punishment. Ike's increasingly abusive behavior led Tina to abruptly leave him in 1976. The discovery set the tentative date for the release of the fifth album, Make Believe, as April or May of 2005. Their signature hit became their frantic rendition of "Proud Mary" (1971). On Friday, January 7, 2005 several Weezer fans noticed that several radio stations had announced the next single from the band (entitled "Beverly Hills") would be released on March 21 or March 22 of the same year.

Ike and Tina Turner recorded a number of hits in the 1960s, including "A Fool In Love", "It's Gonna Work out Fine", and the legendary "River Deep, Mountain High" (with producer Phil Spector). In the summer and early fall of 2004, the members of Weezer recorded a large amount of material intended for a new album to be released in the spring of 2005. She began as an occasional vocalist in his show at the age of 18, but within a couple of years she not only had a new name, but was the spotlight of a popular soul revue led by Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm. A fourth album, Maladroit, was released in 2002 (see 2002 in music), and served as a departure from the catchy pop-influenced music of The Green Album. She was discovered by Ike Turner, a noted pioneer of rock and roll, whom she later married. This album quickly became known as The Green Album. Shortly after the release of The Green Album, Weezer went on another American tour, attracting many new fans along the way.
