From the world of music to politics, there has been a unified expression of condolences and emotion at the disappearance of Tina Turner, the music legend who passed away today at the age of 83 after a long illness. One of the first to say goodbye to her colleague Mick Jagger. “I am deeply saddened by the passing of my wonderful friend Tina Turner,” the Rolling Stones frontman wrote. “She was an incredibly talented singer and performer. An inspirer, a warm, funny and generous person. She helped me so much growing up and I will never forget her,” Jagger wrote on Twitter. Among his condolences comes that of another musical icon of the period, Gloria Gaynor, singer of I Will Survive: “I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Tina Turner, the iconic legend who paved the way for many.” Women in music, both Banks and black. She has done with great dignity and success what few in her time and genre of music would have had the courage to do.”
In our country, Eros Ramazzotti is the queen of rock ‘n roll. “One of the greatest artists of all time, a great woman, a world icon has died,” tweets the singer, who duetted with Tina Turner to the notes of Cose della Vita. And he adds: “Tina, in every form, artistic and human, was a symbol for all of us.” We are losing the best, an extraordinary person. Bye Tina, I’ll always be grateful to you.” There’s no shortage of people remembering Turner outside of the music world. “Tina had a lot of energy during her shows – writes former Lakers player Magic Johnson on Twitter – she was the one who inspired many other great entertainers like Janet Jackson and Beyoncé. His legacy will live on through her.” Even the White House wanted to immediately commented on the singer’s disappearance, calling it “a huge loss”. “For the communities they loved and for the music industry. He was an icon, an icon of music who has performed on many stages and experienced wonderful moments throughout his career,” concludes US Presidential Residence spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre.
