Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock’n Roll, has died at the age of 83 after a long illness. She was known for her powerful vocals and blistering performances. Turner became famous in the late 1960s as the singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue.

She was a two-time inductee in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a perennial on Greatest Performer lists.
