Tina Turner has died and the world is remembering all the hit songs and performances that were simply the best.
On May 24, the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll died in her home near Zurich, Switzerland, at age 83, according to her publicist, Bernard Doherty. He said that she died after a long illness.
The beloved singer rose to fame during the 1960s and is best known for her hit songs "The Best," "What's Love Got to Do With It" and "Proud Mary." In her iconic comeback era, Turner returned in her 40s with 1984's "Private Dancer."
BMG, the company that owns the rights to Turner's music, expressed a "deep sense of loss and sadness" in a statement following the announcement.
“There will only ever be one Tina Turner," CEO Hartwig Masuch said in a statement. "Her music and her life’s journey touched so many people. We send our condolences to her dear manager and husband Erwin and all those who loved her.”
