Between divas, they could only understand each other. American star Beyoncé, in concert at the Stade de France (Saint-Denis) on May 26, for her Renaissance World Tour, sent a special thought to Tina Turner, reports BFMTV. The interpreter of “Simply The Best” died on Wednesday, May 24, following a long illness. In front of more than 80,000 fans, the former member of Destiny’s Child proclaimed her love for the queen of rock.
“If you’re a fan of me, you’re a fan of Tina Turner. Because I have to be honest, I wouldn’t be on this stage without Tina Turner. I want you to scream for her to feel your love. The public, visibly receptive to Beyoncé’s speech, reacted strongly to this call. “I feel so lucky to have been able to see his brilliance,” she said, not without some emotion.

This isn’t Beyoncé’s first reaction to Turner’s passing. Already, during the announcement of the disappearance of the Swiss-American, the interpreter of “Single Ladies” had published a text on his website. “My beloved queen. I love you infinitely. I am so in awe of your influence and all you have done to pave the way for us. You represent strength and resilience. You are the embodiment of power and passion […]. Thank you for all you have done,” it read.
