Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll Tina Turner died on May 24th at the age of 83. Fellow musicians and fans alike took to social media for an outpouring of tribute posts, mourning the once-in-a-lifetime performer.
“I’m so saddened by the passing of my wonderful friend Tina Turner. 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,” wrote The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. (Turner opened for The Stones on their 1969 US tour).
Beyoncé, who performed with Turner during the 2008 Grammy Awards, delivered an emotional tribute on Instagram. “My beloved queen. I love you endlessly. I’m so grateful for your inspiration, and all the ways you have paved the way,” Beyoncé wrote. “You are strength and resilience. You are the epitome of power and passion. We are all so fortunate to have witnessed your kindness and beautiful spirit that will forever remain. Thank you for all you have done.”
“My darling Tina Turner. I’ve been loving you so long. So much to thank you for. Love you eternally. Can’t believe this awful news. Can’t believe you are gone,” posted Garbage singer Shirley Manson. “Heaven has gained an angel. Rest in Paradise Tina Turner. Thank you for the inspiration you gave us all,” wrote Ciara in her tribute post.
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan described Turner as “legendary,” while her former tourmate Bryan Adams shared his condolences along with a photo of the two together: “I’ll be forever grateful for the time we spent together on tour, in the studio and as friends,” Adams wrote. “Thank you for being the inspiration to millions of people around the world for speaking your truth and giving us the gift of your voice. It’s Only Love and that’s all.”
Kid Cudi called Turner “the ultimate superhero,” while Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino credited her as “proof that you should always keep going. never give up.” Angela Bassett, who played Turner in the 1993 biopic What’s Love Got to Do with It, wrote that she was “honored to have known Tina Turner” and that she’s “humbled to have helped show her to the world.”
Many other musicians and celebrities paid tribute to Turner, including Brian Wilson, Debbie Harry, Alicia Keys, Diana Ross, and Erykah Badu, plus President Biden and former president Obama. See their reactions and more below.

I’m so sorry to hear about Tina Turner. I loved Tina and her voice and energy – she was one of the greats. “River Deep, Mountain High” will always be one of my favorite songs. And nothing beats her version of “Proud Mary.” I loved her musical too. Love & Mercy. pic.twitter.com/dZ0swrtmsB
