@itnarchive1955: Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll, has died aged 83. Beginning in the #1950s, for decades Turner continued and exemplified the traditional, bedrock contribution of Black female voices to the #rock genre – all the while surviving an abusive relationship with her husband and creative partner. In the #1980s, a #solo career brought new levels of #fame, with Turner becoming and remaining one of the biggest names in #popmusic. Other titanic public figures have been paying #tribute to Turner. Stars including #MariahCarey and #OprahWinfrey have celebrated Turner as a “survivor”, #Carey calling her “an #inspiration to women everywhere”. #MickJagger, who admitted to being inspired by Turner’s high-energy performances, called her “enormously talented” and a “wonderful friend”. #Beyoncé described Turner as “the epitome of #power and #passion” and thanked the star for “all the ways you have paved the way.” #BarackObama referred to Turner as a “dear friend” with a “boundless passion for life”. On 20 June 1986, #TinaTurner joined other big pop names at a charity concert at London’s #WembleyStadium to celebrate the 10th birthday of #ThePrincesTrust. Along with #EltonJohn, #PaulMcCartney, #RodStewart, and #PaulYoung, Tina Turner met #PrinceCharles, #PrinceOfWales and #Diana, #PrincessOfWales before putting on a show expected to raise over a million pounds. #TinaTurner #Tina #QueenOfRockAndRoll #PrincessDiana #KingCharles #KingCharlesIII #CharlesIII #MickJagger #Beyonce #BarackObama #OprahWinfrey #RIP
