The death of the incomparable Tina Turner has sent shockwaves across the globe.
As reported, the legend died Wednesday (May 24) aged 83 after a prolonged illness.
The definition of an icon, the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s impact spans many a generation and many a medium.
With the world in mourning, so too are several notable names who’ve taken to their respective platforms to pay homage to the ‘Proud Mary’ performer.
Angela Bassett, whose transformation into Turner in the unforgettable biopic ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ earned the actress an Academy Award nomination, led the tributes and was joined by the likes of Mick Jagger (whose narrative is also interwoven with Turner) as well as Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Kelly Rowland, and more.

I’ll never forget this day at the Legends Ball when I met Tina Turner! She rearranged me with her conversation, her spirit, her depth of character, her grace and most of all her ability to be ordinary and a LEGEND at the time!
