"Tina, we will miss you dearly."
The "Queen of Rock," who achieved worldwide fame via hit songs such as "What's Love Got to Do with It," and "The Best," was 83 years old.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner," her team wrote in a commemorative post on Twitter. "With her music and boundless passion for life, she enchanted fans worldwide and inspired future stars. We say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us her greatest work; her music. Tina, we will miss you dearly."
According to the Daily Mail, Turner, born Anna-Mae Bullock, died at her home in Küsnach, a small town near Zurich, Switzerland following a long battle with an unspecified illness.
As news of her death spread across social media, tributes poured in from fans and fellow music legends alike.
"I'm so saddened by the passing of my wonderful friend Tina Turner," Mick Jagger wrote. "She was truly an enormously talented performer and singer. She was inspiring, warm, funny and generous. She helped me so much when I was young and I will never forget her."
"She was our River Deep and our Mountain High, the Private Dancer in our hearts," George Takei added. "She showed us that love really does has everything to do with it, and that we really did need another hero. And she was it. Rest now, Proud Mary. Raise your voice high in the heavens. You were always simply The Best."
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
