PUMANAW na ang binansagang “Queen of Rock ‘n Roll” na si Tina Turner sa edad 83.
Ayon sa kanyang representative, mapayapang pumanaw ang iconic singer sa kanyang bahay sa Zurich, Switzerland nitong May 24.
Para sa mga hindi pa masyadong aware, nagsimula si Tina sa kanyang karera noong 1950s.
Ito ‘yung mga panahon na nag-uumpisa pa lamang ang “rock and roll” hanggang sa sumikat na sa MTV.
Ang legendary singer ang tinaguriang isa sa “biggest recording artists of all time” dahil sa kanyang hit songs na “What’s Love Got to Do with It” at “(Simply) The Best.”
At dahil sa kanyang pagkawala sa music industry ay bumuhos ang mga pakikiramay mula sa sikat na celebrities at bigating personalidad.
Kabilang na riyan ang iconic singer na si Mariah Carey, Canadian singer Bryan Adams, American singer-actress Jennifer Hudson, U.S. President Joe Biden, Dating U.S. President na si Bill Clinton, at marami pang iba.

Sey ni Jennifer, “Tina Turner, we honor you! Your legacy will live forever. (You) showed us all what it means to have the grit and determination to never stop, no matter what life throws our way!”
“The words legendary, iconic, diva, and superstar are often overused and yet Tina Turner embodies them all and so many more – an incredible performer, musician and trailblazer. To me, she will always be a survivor and an inspiration to women everywhere. Her music will continue to inspire generations to come,” pagluluksa naman ni Mariah.
Pag-alala ng dating pangulong Clinton, “I loved Tina Turner and will never forget meeting her when she came to Little Rock for a concert after releasing Private Dancer in 1984. We met again on her 67th birthday in St. Petersburg, where she and Elton John sang for a charity event. She still had it—talent, style, energy and authenticity—a priceless gift to music lovers everywhere.”
“In addition to being a once-in-a-generation talent that changed American music forever, Tina’s personal strength was remarkable. Overcoming adversity, and even abuse, she built a career for the ages and a life and legacy that were entirely hers,” lahad ni U.S. President Biden.
Pasasalamat naman ni Bryan, “I’ll be forever grateful for you bringing me on tour with you, going in the studio together and being your friend. Thank you for being the inspiration to millions of people around the world for speaking your truth and giving us the gift of your voice.”
