Tina Turner - one of rock's great vocalists and most charismatic performers - has died aged 83, her spokesperson has confirmed.

In a statement, they said: "Tina Turner, the 'Queen of Rock'n Roll' has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland.

"With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model."

2. She was 83.

32. On her that seems like she had more time yet.

[Larissa]

111. Actually more truth to that than people may realize

Tina Turner left a very important message. Please share.

113. Thanks for the information.

[Easterncedar]

3. Oh no

She was glorious, no one else like her ever. I was only just last night watching an old British sitcom where a young guy named her as someone whose beauty transcended age.

[Botany]

4. A force of nature. "What's Love Got To Do With It"

[malaise]

6. An absolutte classic

Damn she was good!

[sunonmars]

17. just coincidentally released May 1st, 1983, 40 years ago this month.

Just amazing

[gademocrat7]

5. Tina Turner

was an amazing woman.Loved her.

[FM123]

7. My heart is broken.

She was a goddess. So talented, so amazing, so beautiful. Simply the best.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

8. R.I.P. :(

[sunonmars]

9. Watching her live on stage was the best thing ever, you felt you were in the presence of a goddess

She was that good.

I saw her in Wembley Stadium in London, many years ago, that woman had energy.

Just feels like the end of an era with her death, with all the real old big stars fading away.

They don't make them like her anymore.

[FM123]

16. Gosh, you are so lucky you got to see her perform live. What magic it must have been.

I never had the pleasure. I did get to see the Broadway show about her life in January and it made me love her and her music even more.

[sunonmars]

29. OMG, I'll never see a more electric performance than that, it was incredible. The energy, the legs..

[blogslug]

10. Her voice could shake the earth

We were lucky to have her in our time.

[maxsolomon]

11. RIP to a singular talent

[Arkansas Granny]

12. RIP, Tina. A friend just sent me a text: "i bet she still had great legs."

[malaise]

14. LOL

60 years at the top - an icon for real

[Arkansas Granny]

21. When I think of strong women, she is always at the top of the list.

[malaise]

15. LOL

60 years at the top - an icon for real

[pwb]

13. She was always one of my favorite performers.

Nice stage show. RIP Tina.

[Mickju]

18. She was a force of nature.

I'm feeling very sad about this.

[Upthevibe]

19. malaise..............

[Tom_Foolery]

20. She fought many battles...

and won! RIP!

[DFW]

22. She overcame serious abuse at Ike's hands.

She not only had the strength to go on, she bloomed like a uniquely formed orchid. She used to call Mick Jagger on the phone sometimes before performances, and he used to give her pep talks. Although she used to live „just down the road from me, figuratively speaking, I regret that I never saw her.

[malaise]

53. She and Mick were close

A strong woman who showed us how to overcome abuse and everything else in our way.
What’s Love Got to do with it?

[Emile]

23. Oh no, I loved her.

[bdamomma]

24. She was great

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

25. RIP, Queen!

[SWBTATTReg]

26. Ohhhhhh!!! A true ICON and music Godness gone!

[Beastly Boy]

27. Damn, that really hurt.

Somehow, I thought of her as being with us forever.

[shanti]

28. A legend for sure!

&t=1s



She was fabulous in 'Tommy'.

[a kennedy]

30. Damn.........

♥️

[SouthBayDem]

31. A classic: "River Deep, Mountain High"

I did not know Glen Campbell played guitar on this song!

[LiberalLoner]

79. ❤️❤️❤️ and the late Jim Gordon played drums on this as well.

[electric_blue68]

89. W0000t!!!

[Bev54]

106. My very favourite for sure, I was just a kid when it came out, my Dad thought it

was too much screaming, lol.

[StarryNite]

33. Oh nooo

[Dustlawyer]

34. +1!!! R.I.P. Tina!

Back in my DJ days she was a staple.

[FM123]

35. Just wanted to add this beautiful video to the others posted today

&ab_channel=TINATurnerBlog

[malaise]

61. Wow! Thanks

[bigtree]

93. thank you

[senseandsensibility]

36. I am motivated to read a good biography of her

because I am sure that there are so many amazing things about her life that I still dont know.

[Vinca]

37. She was one of the very, very best. One of my favorites. Sad, but not unexpected.

[Niagara]

38. You're simply the best!

You'll be missed, that's for sure.

[Deuxcents]

39. I got in my car and turned on the radio and actually teared up

When I heard she had passed. She was simply the Best..for women, for music, for all of us. Rest in Peace Dear Tiny Dancer…we will be celebrating you for what you gave us 💐

[japple]

40. Her first record

[NBachers]

41. I saw Ike & Tina in Kalamazoo with Ernie Terrell and the Heavyweights

Ernie was a Muhammad Ali opponent, and husband of Tammi Terrell.

Quite the show

[DinahMoeHum]

42. One of my favorites, and the first song that came to mind for me.

Vibes of Miami Vice. Rest In Power and In Peace, Queen Tina.

[Kid Berwyn]

43. Proud Mary

Sometimes...we never do nothing nice and easy.
We always do it nice...and rough.

[exboyfil]

47. John Fogerty - Well that isn't our song anymore

[LoisB]

44. No! Not Tina. I was just listening to "Simply the Best". This is indeed a sad day.

[sdfernando]

45. Oh no!!!

Such an amazing and energetic performer. My housemate saw her live in the Flamingo bar lounge (I think) way back in the 70s, after she left Ike and was literally struggling to survive. She was working the bar lounge, so that would be an open show where anyone could watch and listen while having a drink.

Damn she was powerhouse!

[exboyfil]

46. Credence did a hell of a job on Proud Mary

Then Tina and Ike owned it.

Ms. Turner thank you for the music.

Comfort to her family and friends.

[MLAA]

48. One of the very greats.

Another favorite in a addition to You Better Be Good To Me:

[llmart]

49. She's one for the history books.

They don't make them like that any more - a truly talented and beautiful woman inside and out. I heard an interview with her and she had so many struggles in her life but rose above them all. Didn't she just get a kidney transplant recently and it was her new husband that gave her a kidney? I may be incorrect on the details, but I heard her talk about this in the interview. It may have been with Oprah?

Regardless of the details, I don't think there was anything she sang that I didn't love.

[ismnotwasm]

50. I just found out about this

I am very sad

[Lucinda]

51. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

Thank you Tina

[kimbutgar]

52. I saw her in person once when she was in her early 70's and was amazed how well she still had

Those awesome moves.

RIP Tina



But on a side note the media will be broadcasting this news more than Desatan and muskrat today!

[BumRushDaShow]

59. She will forever be the embodient of woman

R.I.P.

[lpbk2713]

60. First I've heard.

What a talent. She always put on a good show.

[malaise]

64. Tell you something

Mick is special - he has so much respect for the sphere of music. His relationships and performances and records with others deserve way more notice and praise.

[lpbk2713]

69. Absolutely right.

And he's still going strong.

[Duppers]

88. He credited Tina with teaching him to dance.

He also improvised a lot.

When you watch them together, you know they had such charisma together and such respect for each other.

When Tina was dealing with the race barrier in this country, after her breakup with Ike, Mick welcomed her with opened arms in England and shared venues with her.

[FakeNoose]

62. Oh no! This is very sad news

Rest in Peace Tina Turner, beloved by the Baby Boomers. And many younger fans too.

77. I'm so sad. She was a Queen.

[MustLoveBeagles]

78. Loved her

[TNNurse]

80. Saw her on a "farewell tour"

I think there were several in Greensboro, NC, thanks to my big sister.

It was wonderful. On the way home, I was stuck in the Atlanta airport for many hours, but it was worth it.

Lionel Ritchie was the opening act and he was also wonderful.

[world wide wally]

81. Loved Tina

[twodogsbarking]

85. What they all said. You were loved by so many.

[calimary]

86. New lead soloist in God's Chorus.

She might lead and choreograph the group! I can see her with Elvis, fronting the whole thing!

Got a HUGE and OUTSTANDING backup band, too. George Harrison and John Lennon are members.

When I go, I hope they might accept me to help as one of their publicists!

[mzmolly]

87. :(

She was a marvel and a legend.

RIP good soul and bad assed woman.

Glad she got away from Ike.

[ancianita]

101. I will always love The Queen.

Tell me lawyer what to do
I think I'm falling in love with you
Defend me from the way I feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life, mm
I'm sure that we can make a deal (yeah)

I confess I'm a fool for men
With a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match
For this heart of mine (for this heart of mine)

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

Your sense of justice I'll embrace
But your defense don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer, gotta catch me when I fall

Oh, they say that you match your wits
With the best of them
But I know when I'm close you're just
Like the rest of them (like the rest of them)

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in

Open up your heart and let me in

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
Ooh, a little reaction

I'm just using my female charm
On a typical male, on a typical male
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical

104. oh how I loved her

she was the total package - talent, beauty, brains, a true survivor who helped countless others by being open about her challenges

[nightwing1240]

105. A true legend and one of a kind!

I have loved Ms Turner from the first time my ears heard her and eyes seen her. There won't be another like her. RIP Tina Turner, thank you for sharing your many talents with the world!

[BeckyDem]

107. Tina Turner will never be forgotten.

Forever a spirit for good, and a special energy most could never compete with.

As a black woman, I saw her as an inspiration...she was always moving forward, and always on her own notes.


Tina made her own wigs, some of my favorites were the ones that looked like a lion's mane....that was no coincidence, imho.

RIP!

[Ilsa]

108. I bought very few albums in the 1980s, but I bought Private Dancer.

Yes, vinyl. Great album.

[forgotmylogin]

109. [...]

Tina taught us there are times to take it nice and easy, and there are times to make it rough!

The Queen of Rock & Roll will never be forgotten.

[Nixie]

110. Undercover Agent for the Blues -- Live in Barcelona 1990. Just absolutely spectacular!

This song doesn't seem to have gotten as much attention, but it's a fantastic. When I heard about Tina yesterday, I immediately thought of this song and hanging around my 90's work friends at the time. My brother sent me this song, and when one of them heard it, she went wild. We played it over and over. I would bet she also thought of those times when she heard about Tina yesterday. Hi Michele, wherever you are!

You are loved, Tina! Wow, just look at this incredible woman. This song is fantastic, but when you see her put her body language into, it's just unbeatable. RIP great woman.

[malaise]

112. Thanks

Nice
