Extending work of E, Khanin, Mazel and Sinai (1997 PRL 78:1904-1907) on the one-dimensional Burgers equation, we show that density pdf's have universal power-law tails with exponent -7/2. This behavior stems from singularities, other than shocks, whose nature is quite different in one and several dimensions. We briefly discuss the possibility of detecting singularities of Navier-Stokes turbulence using pdf tails.
