@BlackcurrantTea: DJ Times does not have a poor reputation. "Established in 1988, DJ TIMES is America's first magazine for professional DJs. Every month, more DJs turn to DJ Times than any other industry publication for information on the newest products and emerging technologies, for catching up on the latest trends and tunes, and for advice on how to go further in the craft."

That description of DJ Times is from their own site: of course they're going to make themselves sound good. No website's going to come over all modest and say, 'Eh, you know, we're all right. Not bad, really. Some people like us'. DJ Times may be a reliable source for some subjects in some circumstances; it hasn't been discussed at the reliable sources noticeboard. However, when you added a reference to it, you removed a link to CNN, which the community considers a 'perennial' reliable source. You also significantly altered the article text, from Turner being an active participant to having no role whatsoever. Variety, another publication the community considers a perennial reliable source for entertainment news, concurs with CNN's view: 'Tina Turner, 80, is collaborating with DJ Kygo on a remix of her 1984 smash "What’s Love Got To Do With It".' Rolling Stone, another perennial reliable source: 'Tina Turner has come out of retirement at age 80 to release a Kygo remix of her 1984 mega hit, "What's Love Got to Do With It".' That's three reliable sources saying that she came out of retirement, contradicting your change, which was based on a single source. Even if consensus at the reliable sources noticeboard is that DJ Times is quite reliable, it would require some discussion to say that it's more reliable than all three of the others.
