She had extraordinary legs and a major talent.

I will always remember that hot summer day when my friend came over and brought over her cassette tape and I was watching her on MTV. Good times.

Rest In Peace my lady.

I do know that she had very serious Kidney problems these last 6 years, but anyway who can ever forget her PROUD MARY performance and her later career revival too may she R.I.P.

This is very sad news. She was a tremendous talent but more importantly an incredible human spirit who endured through overwhelming adversity. She never gave up on herself or her career and was strong enough to change. There aren't many people in my life that I have looked up to but she is definitely one of the few. Rest In Peace Tina Turner. :(

That's not what we mean. This is a section about Elvis. Not every other rock 'n' roll musician when they die.

Great performer....one of a kind. I'm a Mark Knopfler fan....did you know that Mark wrote "Private dancer" for Dire Straits?... after doing it he realized that it diserved to be sang by a woman and inmediately offered it to her and to help her because her career was fading out at that time.

Yes, I was aware of that, as I am a fan of Mark Knopfler to. Love his guitar playing, very skilled, very talented musician.

To keep it Elvis related. Tina and Ike would appear at the International at the same time as Elvis. A fan on Facebook said they met Tina a few times in 1970 at a restaurant at the hotel. Tina knew they were Elvis fans. And Tina told them how nice Elvis was. :)

Priscilla Presley will be missing legendary singer Tina Tuner after passed away suffering from a long illness.

The ex-wife of Elvis Presley, 77, shared a heartfelt note on Instagram with a vintage photo of the When the Heartache Is Over singer.

“Tina Turner was one of Elvis’ favourite performers,” wrote Priscilla. “When she took the stage, it was pure magic. I remember how she held an audience with an energy that was undeniably pure Tina! She has left a remarkable legacy and will be sorely missed by all.”


Like Elvis, Turner’s career spanned over decades and boasted multiple Top 40 Billboard hits, 25 Grammy Award nominations, a Kennedy Center Honor, and entry into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.

Before venturing into her solo career, the musician brought out hits like Proud Mary, Come Together and I Want to Take You Higher as the frontwoman for the Ike & Tina Turner Revue.

In the ’80s, she would score hits like What’s Love Got to Do with it, Private Dancer, and We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome).

The queen of rock ‘n’ roll’s death was confirmed by her publicist Bernard Doherty on Wednesday, May 24th, 2023.

“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.”

The American-born singer had been living in Switzerland since 1994 with her husband, German actor, and music producer Erwin Bach, earning her Swiss citizenship in 2013.


Game over.
