Very sad news. She was a one-off with a remarkable back-story. RIP.

Bloody hell, weren’t expecting that. Very sad indeed.

 

[Rockhopper]

Sad news today. Simply the best.

I saw her as Ike and Tina Turner with the Ikettes at the “ Middle Earth “ club in Covent Gardens in 68 / 69
Great show !
R.I.P. Tina

Bloody brilliant bird, a ****ing bright light! All the best love.

 

[per-Sony-fied]

Very surprised. A lot of info on the news right now. Seemed so fit too.

 

[linvc]

A sad day indeed. She was definitely a one off

I’ve always found it amusing that her second career was part born in The People’s Republic Of Sheffield via B.E.F. (Heaven 17). After this they produced Let’s Stay Together, and from there she just took off.

Such a cool story!

RIP Tina.

RIP. Looking at some of her early videos, you can see where Beyoncé gets her moves. A very sad loss.

Yes, was going to write something about that, incredible story. The album was quite low budget & wasn’t really expected to be so huge. Sheffield has massively punched above its weight when it comes to global acts.

RIP Tina Turner, a legend.

Terrible loss. Glad to have seen her live, Bryan Adams as support. RIP.
