Tina Turner is revered around the world, inspiring millions including arguably today’s most important pop star Beyoncé, who, at the Kennedy Center Honors tribute event for Turner in 2005 said, “I will never forget the first time I saw you perform, I had never in my life seen a woman so powerful, so fearless and so fabulous”. The perfect description of a revolutionary woman who paved the way.
She is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold in excess of 200 million records, won 11 Grammy Awards, is an acclaimed actress, and has set the stage on fire with every rock luminary from Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Phil Collins to the aforementioned Beyoncé. Her live shows have been seen by millions, and she is one of the best selling live solo artists of all time.
