Rock n’ Roll legend Tina Turner has passed away “peacefully” at the age of 83.

“The ‘Queen of Rock’n Roll’ has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland,” a statement issued yesterday read.

“With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.”

Tina Turner’s electrifying presence and soulful voice captivated the world.

As the news of her passing reaches every corner, we reflect upon a life that shaped the very essence of rock ‘n’ roll, a life that inspired generations and left an indelible mark on the hearts of millions.

Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on 26th November 1939 and raised in Nutbush, Tennessee, where she recalled picking cotton with her family as a child.

She sang in the tiny town’s church choir, and as a teenager convinced Ike to join his band in St Louis: he had declined her request to join until he heard her seize the microphone during a Kings of Rhythm performance for a rendition of BB King’s You Know I Love You.

Her voice, a sublime fusion of raw power and vulnerability, reached depths and soared to heights that seemed otherworldly.

With each note, she wove emotions into melodies, allowing us to experience the full spectrum of the human spirit.

From soul-stirring ballads to high-energy rock anthems, her live performance was her greatest strength.

Malta has had a soft spot for Tina Turner after she included us in her world tour in 1990.

Tina graced the Independence Arena with her unmatched charisma and mesmerising performances. Thousands of fans flocked to witness her unparalleled talent, transforming the island into a hotbed of anticipation and excitement.

Her concert was nothing short of extraordinary spectacles, where her powerful voice reverberated through the hearts of all those in attendance.

Rest in Peace Tina!
