Tina Turner by sharing the last words the pop icon said to her.Turner died yesterday at the age of 83 following a long illness, her spokesperson said.“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner. With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow,” a statement on her social media pages read.“Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music.

Beyoncé has written a touching tribute to Tina Turner, following news of her passing.Yesterday (May 24), news broke that the Rock’n’Roll singer had passed away peacefully in her Switzerland home. She was aged 83.Now, amid countless tributes being paid from members of the entertainment world — led by Elton John, Mick Jagger and more — R&B icon Beyoncé has also paid her respects to the late musician, and thanked her for the ways that she shaped her as an artist.“My beloved queen.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Tina Turner, who died Wednesday at 83, rarely failed to electrify, not just in person but with cameras as her conduit to the audience, too. Longtime Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich worked with Turner on programs from the late ’70s through the late ’90s, and he shared his memories with Variety of three particularly memorable TV performances. The first of these was in 1985, when she sang “What’s Love Got to Do With It” on the Grammys, the same year she won record of the year for that song — arguably the peak of her career, though she’d been revered for a quarter-century before that and would become a bigger superstar still in the next 25 years to follow. The second appearance he singles out is a duet between Turner and Elton John for a 1999 “VH1 Divas” special that got more fiery behind the scenes than necessary, albeit possibly to its benefit. Finally, he was an integral part of one of Turner’s last great TV spots, a highly copacetic duet with Beyoncé on the 2008 Grammys telecast.
