Mrs Tina Turner The "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll"
(November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023)
In a career spanning more than 60 years, the US-Swiss singer, who was born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee, won eight competitive Grammy Awards and has a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the St Louis Walk of Fame.
Her famous track list over the years includes the Bond theme track for 1995’s GoldenEye, with a tune of the same name co-written by Bono and The Edge of U2 fame, and other tracks include We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome), What’s Love Got to Do With It, Private Dancer, Let’s Stay Together and many more.
In 2008 she duetted at the Grammys with Beyonce for a rendition of Proud Mary which featured both the powerful singers, in sparkly outfits, mirroring each other’s choreography.
Other notable duets through her career included performing with David Bowie and in 1985 she took to the stage with The Rolling Stones’ Sir Mick Jagger during Live Aid.
Her career spanned more than music, with her starring in the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome alongside Mel Gibson and she also appeared in 1993’s Last Action Hero.
In 2021 she sold the rights to her back catalogue after reaching an agreement with BMG for an undisclosed sum, signing over her share of her recordings, her music publishing writer’s share and her name, image and likeness, the company said.
Her solo works include 10 studio albums, two live albums, two soundtracks and five compilations, which together have sold more than 100 million records.
All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family.
Tina, we will miss you dearly.

I know we say “this is a Renaissance painting” a lot, but THIS is a hell of a Renaissance painting:
[L to R in row behind Princess Diana: David Bowie, Crystal Taylor, Brian May, Rodger Taylor]
#Lady Di#Music#queen#David Bowie#live aid#they’re definitely just bumming cigarettes of David Bowie but I can’t get over this picture#why is Bob Geldof like 2in from Prince Charles that’s funny too#this is a mood when it comes to Lady Di ngl#love all the drama around Freddie Mercury not coming and Crystal Taylor taking his ticket - gossip rags all speculating that he hates Diana#when the truth is almost certainly that if Freddie Mercury had to sit next to David Bowie for an entire concert there would be a fist fight#also Elton John is there sitting to the left of Diana but he got cropped whoops

The elementary school on the way home has an LED sign with date information for parents and students. They had something up with today's date that I saw on the way back from the store last weekend. It's an automatic thought that February 23rd is my sister's birthday and I felt caught off guard.
Today would have been my sister's 60th birthday. I both can and can't believe it's been 4.5 years since she died of a sudden heart attack, most likely from untreated hyperthyroidism.
I have a longer post in drafts that I don't know if I'll share. She had a troubled life and we had our share of highs and lows together. Grief is complicated. She is the main person who helped shape who I am in many good ways. She's also someone who let me down repeatedly. I think I'll always be sad that we never got to have a close relationship as adults where we were independent equals.
But today I'm remembering the good times. U2 was her favorite band. She loved them before they became humongous. So here's U2's Live Aid performance of Bad off of their album, The Unforgettable Fire. 12- 15 year old me LOVED mocking Bono's onstage and video antics to make my sister laugh. We got to see them three times in concert. Fantastic shows and memories

Am I the only one who think that Queen ll is the fucking best album of Queen ? I mean... the songs are just amazing and the lyrics, just WOW. Thank you Freddie, John, Roger and Brian you beautifuls boys for this underrated masterpiece, because of you I just feel like the queen of the world when I listen to the fairy feller master stroke or the march of the black queen with my headphones 😎😎

Since the new season of Doctor Who seems rather musically inclined, can we PLEASE get a live aid episode in which Ncuti Gatwa gets to flirt with either Freddy Mercury or Elton John
#doctor who#ncuti gatwa#live aid#LiveAid#best thing to happen in the 80s#and my personal first pick for a tardis trip
