Scroll down to content

On the sad day the world bid farewell to one of music’s most legendary and influential figures, our beloved idol Tina Turner, the news of her passing reverberated across the globe, prompting an outpouring of grief and appreciation for her remarkable career.

As the media mourned the loss of this extraordinary artist, headlines, and tributes filled the pages, capturing the essence of Tina Turner’s indomitable spirit and her lasting impact on the music industry. Tina’s influence extended far beyond her time in the spotlight. Her distinctive style, unforgettable dance moves, and soulful voice became synonymous with strength, passion, and empowerment.

Tina Turner’s music transcended borders and touched the lives of countless fans worldwide. As news of her death spread, social media platforms became flooded with heartfelt messages, personal anecdotes, and tributes from fans sharing how her music had affected their lives. Not only fans but politicians, actors, performers… I don’t think there’s a single artist that somehow didn’t mention Tina. It’s almost impossible to compile them all.

The global press covered these emotional reactions, reflecting the universal love and admiration that Turner garnered throughout her career.

Beyond her musical talents, Tina Turner’s personal journey resonated deeply with many. Her tumultuous relationship with Ike Turner, detailed in her autobiography “I, Tina,” brought to light issues of domestic abuse and inspired others to seek liberation and empowerment. Turner’s resilience in overcoming adversity served as a beacon of hope for individuals facing their own struggles, making her an inspiration not only in the realm of music but also in the broader realm of personal triumph.

No doubt more tributes and magazine covers will keep on coming. Check out TinaTurnerBlog on social media to keep in touch.

  2. I can’t and won’t comprehend that this Icon who thaught Mick Jagger to dance, passed away… I’ve been following her since the time of the cassettes and my walkman, can you imagine…? In the backseat of the car listening to Tina, in my bed … I must have been 16 then.. now I am 56 y old… I known all her movements, the way she talked… No, to me, Tina Turner lives on forever….

  10. I am alive today, because when i eas at my lowest point in life ready to toss in the towel, my ear caught a special song on the radio. Song title withholding for personal reasons.
    Was an remarkable voice that captured me to stop and listen to every word. It was as though Tina Turner was singing directly to me.
    It opened my eyes seeing things I have seen before. From that moment on whenever i was down, lonely, broke, what ever it was I found inspiration, direction, and purpose. I can not express the gratefulness and respect i have for the queen of rock and roll.
    Tina you saved the life of a worthless lost soul and made me realise i was worthy of a life and a chance.
    Fly free my queen, you have obtained Nirvana which you so richly deserve.
    As one of your millions of loyal subjects you shall live in my heart ❤️ and soul. Thank you.

  18. I loved how Tina Turner escaped a male dominated world and created and controlled her own world, Tina Turner World! 💙 Proof in so many ways that you can leave, re-invent, no, let the real you shine and succeed. She proved that you just have to have deep rooted faith in your own abilities and just do it!
    Tina Turner. Simply the Best is a powerful, never ending phenomenal entity that will forever be present and loved deeply. ❤️ 💙 💜 💖

  19. dear ben

    I am so appreciative of your love of Tina 

and your devotion to serve her and her fans. 

as with so many 

her passing is a Deep Loss in my heart 

even though I imagine death frees her from her physical suffering 

and now she lives in the Light … 

then I think about you, 

wondering how you feel about this Blog, 

whether you will continue 

or you want to eventually come to a close. 

this maybe too early a question for you 

but I feel caring of you, your love of Tina and your devotion to her. 

and of course 

as a fan / follower 

I am not ready for the Blog to completely go silent 

much love, ben 

thank you for all you do for so many, 

pui ming

  22. I, like all of you, was devastated to learn of Tina’s passing. And like all of you there
    is an emptiness that comes with the passing of such an important role model. I have so
    many Tina stories but I don’t think I have enough space to share more than one.
    It’s July 1985 and Tina is booked into a medium sized club in Montreal but by the time she arrived to do the show Private Dancer was exploding up the charts and the club couldn’t accommodate the vast crowds of people who wanted to see her. She had to change the venue to The Montreal Forum.
    I knew Tina was staying just down the street from my place at The Four Seasons so I packed an overnight bag and checked in. I was flush with cash back then so I didn’t care what it took for me to connect with Tina, even if it was just to say hello it would have been enough. So I called a flower shop near the hotel and ordered a dozen red roses, then the clerk told me everyone was sending her roses, why don’t I send her something different? Reminding me she was a Buddhist he suggested sending her a dozen earth toned Orchids? What a genius he was! So I’m back at the hotel filling out a card for Tina when I dropped the pen behind a credenza. Moving it from against the wall I found a diamond earring on the ground. There was only one, just a solitary diamond. And believe me when I tell you it was NOT small! I had a designer friend who made me 2 pairs of pajamas using a silk like fabric, and he also made matching robes as well. I don’t remember how I found out what room she was in, I think I bribed the bellman. That night while she was performing the bellman took all my gifts and put them on a chair in her suite so she couldn’t miss them when she got back. I knew she was checking out the next morning and I still hadn’t made contact. Then I did something so stupid I still feel bad about it 35 years later. I didn’t want to wake her up so on checkout day I waited until 12:30 before calling her. When she picked up the phone and heard my voice she said “please” before hanging up. I was fit to be tied, I did the one thing I promised myself I wouldn’t do…I woke her up! But Tina had a surprise for me. When I checked out the front desk handed me an envelope and inside was a black and white photo taken from the Private Dancer, it was extra special to me because it was a photo I’d never seen before. I want to tell you how important Tina was to me. When I was 14 I came out to my family. Two days later my father told me to get in the car, I had no idea where we were going or why. It was raining hard that day so I didn’t notice until it was too late that my father was having me committed to a mental hospital in Toronto. When we pulled up to the main building I noticed two people standing just inside the door. When my Dad’s car stopped they both came out. It was a doctor and a nurse and they were there to “facilitate my transfer” The nurse went around to my father’s side where he handed her a small bag of clothing and toiletries. I had no idea it was even there because it was hidden under his seat.Then the doctor opened my door but I refused to get out unless my Dad came in with me. When it became obvious my father would not be coming in I got out of the car and was standing there in the pouring rain begging him not to leave me there. I could tell by his eyes that he was already a million miles away. He simply turned around and left me there. As he was driving away I saw him looking at me in his rear view mirror. I could never understand why he refused to come in with me. I thought maybe it was easier for him to detach himself because I was adopted, maybe his feelings didn’t run as deep as they might have were I his biological son? I was thinking another reason he didn’t want to come in was because he knew the kind of mental picture he would be left with for the rest of his life. From there I ran away to New York and have been on my own ever since. I can’t begin to tell you how much hope and how much comfort I got by watching Tina navigate the hard times in her life. She was a woman of grace and integrity. A woman of substance who showed the world how, by the power of your own determination, you too can overcome what hurts you the most. I know this e-mail is long but I hope you will post it Ben?
