The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll passes away at 83 after an illustrious 60-year journey through music history.

Tina Turner, the iconic American-Swiss singer whose voice defined rock and soul for over six decades, has passed away at the age of 83 following a prolonged illness. Known for her unmatched talent and vibrant stage presence, Turner’s career produced timeless anthems such as “River Deep – Mountain High,” “Proud Mary,” “Nutbush City Limits,” and “The Best,” which continue to resonate across generations.

Born Anna Mae Bullock, Tina’s influence extended far beyond her music. She was inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and her 12 Grammy Awards stand as a testament to her impact on the music industry. Turner also set a Guinness World Record for the largest paying audience for a solo performer, drawing an astonishing 180,000 fans to the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro for her 1988 performance.

Turner’s manager of 30 years, Roger Davies, described her as a “unique and remarkable force of nature,” while the legendary Sir Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones shared his deep sorrow over her passing. The two performed together at Live Aid in 1985, and Jagger expressed his admiration for Turner’s warmth, generosity, and extraordinary talent.

In addition to her musical accomplishments, Tina Turner was honoured with stars on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the St. Louis Walk of Fame. In 2009, she also participated in the “Beyond – Three Voices For Peace” project in Zurich, Switzerland. Whether performing classics like “What’s Love Got to Do With It” or offering her wisdom to younger artists, Turner’s contributions to music and culture remain unparalleled.

Her passing has sparked an outpouring of tributes from fans and fellow musicians alike, celebrating not only her powerful voice but also her enduring influence and the joy she brought to the world.
