On April 9, in what will probably be her last public speech, she told the Guardian that she hoped the world would remember her – and that she was not afraid of death.
‘How would you like to be remembered?’ asked the Guardian.
“As the queen of rock ‘n’ roll.” As a woman who showed other women that it’s okay to strive for success on your own.”
When asked what scares her about getting older, she replied, “Nothing.” That’s the whole adventure of life and I embrace and accept each day with what it brings.”

Sharp as ever, Turner joked about whether she wants more sex, money or fame – “Is there another option at my age?” and shared how she enjoyed the “anonymity in retirement”.
Turner is survived by two of her four sons – two predeceased her – and her 67-year-old husband, Erwin Bach.
The couple married in 2013 after dating for almost 30 years.
Over the course of her career, Turner has won eight Grammys from 25 nominations and three Grammy Awards for Life. Their last stadium concert was in Sheffield, England in 2009.
She was known for hits like “Proud Mary”, “What’s Love Got to Do With It” and “The Best”.
