Friends and family said goodbye to the 83-year-old superstar Wednesday, after she spent years battling health issues. So many have poured their hearts out on social media, celebrating the legacy Turner has left behind.
That legacy has been shared in many ways, including a 1986 autobiography called "I,Tina," a Broadway musical called "Tina: The Tina Turner Musical" and a film called "What's Love Got To Do With It."
The film, which shares the same title as her 1984 hit, chronicles her life story as she rose to fame and embarked on her solo career. It also shared her personal challenges, like leaving her abusive relationship with former husband and co-star, Ike Turner.
According to Turner's manager, she died at her home near Zurich, Switzerland, after battling health issues.
In a statement, the manager said: "With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music."
