“I am a better woman and a better person because her life touched mine,” she claimed. “Tina Turner passed away on Wednesday at the age of 83”.
Oprah Winfrey is speaking in tribute to the late Tina Turner.
Winfrey, 69, shared a carousel of images of the two of them having a good time on Instagram after learning of Turner’s passing on Wednesday.
“I started out as a fan of Tina Turner, then a full-on groupie, following her from show to show around the country, and then, eventually, we became real friends,” she wrote as the caption for the photograph.
She is the steadfast rock ‘n’ roll goddess. She had a great deal of inner strength, and it only got stronger over time”.
She claimed that Turner “served as a role model not only for me but for the world” and “encouraged a part of me I didn’t know existed”.
The host of the television show talked about how the singer of “What’s Love Got to Do with It” gave her the courage to live bravely.
She stated that after escaping years of domestic abuse, her life “became a clarion call for triumph”.
In a leather miniskirt and Manolo shoes, she bravely showed the world what triumph looks like”.
She remarked, “She once told me that when the time came for her to leave this world, she would not be afraid but excited and curious. Because of her devoted husband Erwin and her friends, she had learned how to LIVE. ”.
According to Winfrey, she is appreciative of the impact her life has had on her and how it has shaped her into “a better woman, a better human ”.
A video of Turner and Winfrey performing “The Best” together while dancing on stage was later posted by Winfrey.
She captioned the video, writing, “I had the opportunity to perform on stage with Tina during her ‘Wildest Dreams’ tour and felt a glimpse of her beautiful universe. I was so tense that my knees started to rub against each other. The most enjoyable experience I’ve ever had outside of my comfort zone was the time I spent dancing on stage with her in Los Angeles. ”.
She said, “Tina encouraged me and every woman to do the same. She had a distinctive way of life”.
I would describe seeing Tina perform as a spiritual experience, she continued. She conveys the message “I am here. ”.
I feel the same way after seeing any great art—I want to be a better person—when I leave a Tina concert”.
After a protracted illness, the renowned singer passed away on Wednesday at the age of 83 at her home in the Zurich region of Switzerland, according to her staff.
Turner “enchanted millions of fans around the world with her music and her boundless passion for life and inspired the stars of tomorrow,” according to a post on her Instagram account”.
“Today we said goodbye to a dear friend. Her music, which she leaves behind, is the greatest gift ever given. We send her family our condolences and prayers. Tina, we will miss you terribly”.
