Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, whom Turner personally taught how to dance, remembered her as a "wonderful friend" both on and off stage. "I'm so saddened by the passing of my wonderful friend Tina Turner," he 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."

"RIP my dear @tinaturner I'll be forever grateful for you bringing me on tour, going in the studio together and most of all, being your friend.

"I'm so sorry to hear about Tina Turner. I loved Tina and her voice and energy — she was one of the greats," he wrote. "'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 and mercy."

Cher reminisced about going to visit Turner, who was one of her good friends, during her final years while calling into MSNBC's The Beat with Ari Melber. "I started going to visit her because I thought, I need to put this time into our friendship so she knows that we haven't forgotten her," she said. "We kind of all took turns going and spending time with her and it made her happy."

"She's one of the great artists in our generation," Cher remarked. "There was no other person like her. There was no other person who could even come close to who she was."

She continued, "As a woman, she gave you lots of strength. And I'm sure she's encouraged so many young people, but she gave me lots of strength sometimes, and I gave her lots of strength, too. I think we were perfect friends for each other, truthfully."
