Her story and music helped me get out of my abusive relationship yrs ago. The first time I saw her changed my life! I owe her my happiness. My heart is broken and some of my youth is gone with her passing. She was simply the Best!

An Icon, a Legend, a goddess, a Survivor, a Trailblazer… There will never be another like Tina Turner. RIP ❤❤❤🕊🕊🕊

Americans did not appreciate her enough. Here in Europe she was a Rock Queen. When nobody would touch her in US before Private Dancer, she toured here successfully. We don't forget our legends. She's ours, true European! ❤

Tina Turner was one hell of a performer! She was magic on stage and endless amounts of energy. She will truly be missed.

Tina's personality, talent and creative spirit was electrifying. She exploded with unbridled energy in performance, and showed us all the heights to which a person with inner strength and passion can reach. She inspired us with her joy and we reacted with awe. Love's got everything to do with it.

I am an American and have loved her since the 60's and according to the scores of comments about her many other Americans loved her too. Love to Tina. RIP.

Tina was more than just a rock legend, as a person who loves music and as an American, and as a practitioner of the philosophy of Buddhism, I can relay to her struggles, I've been through every trial you can think of, and so for me it is a great personal loss in a sense

I saw a concert by TINA TURNER about forty years ago and since that evening I have never forgotten her: she possessed a black VOICE of rare beauty: powerful in any tonality: from very bluesy low timbres to ever higher notes that went up and up UP TO THE SKY. He was an "enchanting" stage ANIMAL: he possessed charm, beauty and physique "to spare". Observing TINA, it was understood very well that for HER singing was PURE FUN, therefore, thanks to this STRENGTH OF HER, she was able to "infect" all the audience present right from the first song. Just for the record, it should be NOTED that he has always had a lot of taste in selecting EXCELLENT MUSICIANS and GOOD CHOIR SINGERS to take with him on tour, especially in the 70s and 80s. TINA TURNER is one of the greatest ROCK singers in the HISTORY OF MUSIC and will ALWAYS remain ALIVE in our most beautiful musical memories...!!! R.I.P. TINA 🎤👏👏👏💔❤

I remember seeing my Mom race to turn the channel to see Tina Turner sing “Proud Mary”This is the first I can recall seeing her perform and enjoying the energy that flew through the waves of T.V. She was extremely energetic and beautiful!
Rest Peacefully Queen of Rock Tina Turner!

[uniquefall]

I can't seem to find anyone to stand with "Tina".❗
Yet another outstanding vocal and lyrical musical performance that fosters a melodically cheerful environment in our surroundings, making it "well worth" listening at any time of day❗
I'm extremely appreciative of her talent since her song "Simply The Best" has helped me get through some difficult times.❗
Be sure to keep her in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days..‼
