Patti LaBelle is paying tribute to Tina Turner at the BETAwards.
Turner died peacefully after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, last month. She was 83.
Turner's rep confirmed the sad news in a statement to ET and reflected on the"Proud Mary" singer's unique legacy and the impact she made on rock music. "Tina Turner, the 'Queen of Rock 'n' Roll' has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland. With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model," the statement read.
"Tina Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939, in Nutbush, Tennessee, USA. She became famous in the late 60s as the singer of the band Ike & Tina Turner Revue, but later she became successful worldwide as a solo artist. With her music and her inexhaustible vitality, Tina Turner thrilled millions of fans and inspired many artists of subsequent generations," the statement continued.
