The performer paid tribute to Tina Turner, who died on Wednesday at the age of 83, saying, “I’m so grateful for your inspiration, and all the ways you’ve paved the way.”.
Tina Turner, the “beloved queen,” is in Beyoncé’s mind.
After learning of Turner’s passing on Wednesday, the singer, 41, posted a touching tribute to the late superstar on her website.
“My beloved queen, I love you endlessly,” Beyoncé began her letter. I really appreciate your drive and the many ways you’ve paved the way.”.
“You are strong and tenacious,” she said. You are the embodiment of vigor and zeal. We are all extremely fortunate to have witnessed your kindness and charming demeanor, which we will never forget. I value all that you have accomplished. ”.
A picture of the couple bowing and holding hands while singing Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary” together during their 2008 Grammy Awards performance was included with the statement.
“I’d like to bring out Miss Beyoncé,” she said to the crowd.
“Proud Mary” will be sung by all of us.”.
In a video that recently surfaced on a Beyoncé fan account on Twitter, we see Turner and Beyoncé getting together in anticipation of their Grammy performance.
Beyoncé, who ecstatically approaches Turner in the video and embraces her, spoke at the time about Turner and her inspiration, saying, “When I was a teen, and I saw her tapes, I wanted to be like her. To me, this is practically a dream because she represents the apex. Sharing the stage with her is strange. ”.
The mother of three once more expressed her admiration for the musician in 2005 at a concert held in Turner’s honor. At a reception celebrating Turner’s receipt of the Kennedy Center Honor from President George W. Bush, Beyoncé remarked to him. Bush, “I’ll never forget the first time I saw you perform. I’ve never in my life seen a woman so strong, so brave, so magnificent, and those legs!”.
Beyoncé isn’t the only famous person to have publicly remembered Turner and her career since she passed away at the age of 83; others include Oprah Winfrey, Diana Ross, Elton John, and Martha Stewart.
The terms “legendary,” “iconic,” “diva,” and “superstar” are overused occasionally, but Tina Turner embodies them all and so many more. As a performer, artist, and trailblazer, she was incredible.
Because of all that she overcame, she will always be an inspiration to women everywhere. Her music will serve as an inspiration to future generations. Queen, may peace be with you.
The legendary singer passed away at her home in Switzerland, close to Zurich, after a protracted illness, her team said on Wednesday.
A post on Turner’s Instagram stated, “With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow.”.
“Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest creation: her music. Her family is the recipient of our deepest sympathy. Tina, we will miss you terribly. ”.
