LOS ANGELES — Tina Turner, the trailblazing Black rocker whose powerful voice and imposing stage presence thrilled global audiences for decades, died on Wednesday (May 24) at the age of 83.
Tributes poured in from around the world, with some of music's biggest names lamenting the loss of a singular and instantly recognisable performer, whose popularity spanned generations.
Chateau Algonquin had been the home Turner shared with her German husband Erwin Bach for almost three decades, including when she took Swiss citizenship in 2013 and relinquished her US passport.Back in the United States, President Joe Biden paid a pointed tribute to a"once-in-a-generation talent that changed American music forever".
The pair recorded a number of hits together throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and while he was credited as being the brains behind the operation, she was always clearly the more talented. Her"We Don't Need Another Hero" featured on the soundtrack to"Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," the 1985 post-apocalyptic thriller starring actor Mel Gibson.
"Tina Turner showed others who lived in fear what a beautiful future filled with love, compassion and freedom should look like," Bassett said.
