Mrs Tina Turner The "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll"

(November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023)

In a career spanning more than 60 years, the US-Swiss singer, who was born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee, won eight competitive Grammy Awards and has a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the St Louis Walk of Fame.

Her famous track list over the years includes the Bond theme track for 1995’s GoldenEye, with a tune of the same name co-written by Bono and The Edge of U2 fame, and other tracks include We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome), What’s Love Got to Do With It, Private Dancer, Let’s Stay Together and many more.

In 2008 she duetted at the Grammys with Beyonce for a rendition of Proud Mary which featured both the powerful singers, in sparkly outfits, mirroring each other’s choreography.

Other notable duets through her career included performing with David Bowie and in 1985 she took to the stage with The Rolling Stones’ Sir Mick Jagger during Live Aid.

Her career spanned more than music, with her starring in the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome alongside Mel Gibson and she also appeared in 1993’s Last Action Hero.

In 2021 she sold the rights to her back catalogue after reaching an agreement with BMG for an undisclosed sum, signing over her share of her recordings, her music publishing writer’s share and her name, image and likeness, the company said.

Her solo works include 10 studio albums, two live albums, two soundtracks and five compilations, which together have sold more than 100 million records.

All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family.

Tina, we will miss you dearly.

I know we say “this is a Renaissance painting” a lot, but THIS is a hell of a Renaissance painting:

[L to R in row behind Princess Diana: David Bowie, Crystal Taylor, Brian May, Rodger Taylor]

#Lady Di #Music #queen #David Bowie #live aid #they’re definitely just bumming cigarettes of David Bowie but I can’t get over this picture #why is Bob Geldof like 2in from Prince Charles that’s funny too #this is a mood when it comes to Lady Di ngl #love all the drama around Freddie Mercury not coming and Crystal Taylor taking his ticket - gossip rags all speculating that he hates Diana #when the truth is almost certainly that if Freddie Mercury had to sit next to David Bowie for an entire concert there would be a fist fight #also Elton John is there sitting to the left of Diana but he got cropped whoops

Am I the only one who think that Queen ll is the fucking best album of Queen ? I mean... the songs are just amazing and the lyrics, just WOW. Thank you Freddie, John, Roger and Brian you beautifuls boys for this underrated masterpiece, because of you I just feel like the queen of the world when I listen to the fairy feller master stroke or the march of the black queen with my headphones 😎😎
