Tina Turner is suing a tribute act based in Germany for looking like her.
Turner’s lawyers argue that professional impersonator Dorothea “Coco” Fletcher looks so much like Tina in promotional posters that fans may mistakenly think she’s the real thing and believe they’re actually paying to see Tina.
Fletcher performs in an unofficial tribute show called “Simply The Best”.
The case has now reached Germany’s Federal Court of Justice, which is set to make a ruling that could affect the multi- billion-dollar tribute act industry as the defendant, Cofo Entertainment, is a German firm that represents Fletcher and a host of other tribute acts.
