Como era de esperar, la muerte de Tina Turner ayer 24 de mayo ha generado una avalancha de condolencias por parte de artistas del mundo del rock y figuras destacadas de otros ámbitos. Turner falleció en paz a los 83 años en su casa en Küsnacht (Suiza) tras una larga enfermedad, según informó su familia.
Con más de 100 millones de discos vendidos, y 12 premios Grammy, y una carrera musical que abarca seis décadas, primero junto a su marido Ike Turner y posteriormente en solitario, Tina Turner ha sido considerada como una de las cantantes más importantes de todos los tiempos. Mediante su increíble voz y potencia escénica, Turner ayudó a construir puentes entre el soul y el rock’n’roll con éxitos primerizos con sus versiones de ‘River Deep – Mountain High’ y ‘Proud Mary’, e inspiró a infinidad de músicos.

I’m so saddened by the passing of my wonderful friend Tina Turner.
She was truly an enormously talented performer and singer. She was inspiring, warm, funny and generous. She helped me so much when I was young and I will never forget her. pic.twitter.com/TkG5VrdxXO— Mick Jagger (@MickJagger) May 24, 2023
«I was a benefactor of the energy, creativity and talents of Tina Turner. A woman who started in rural Nutbush, TN cotton fields and worked her way to the very top. Tina was a great inspiration to me when I was starting out and remains so to this day. Love you Tina. RIP.” —DH pic.twitter.com/2sqg0biujc

Sad to hear of Tina Turner passing. I saw her on her first major tour, supporting The Rolling Stones at Birmingham Odeon on 1966 & became an instant fan. RIP pic.twitter.com/ijZJRtwZmN
