London | Rock and soul singers, civil rights activists and political leaders mourned Tina Turner on Wednesday (Thursday AEST) as a trailblazing artist whose music and life epitomised resilience, determination, heart and the power to not only survive but thrive over five decades in the music industry.
The American-born singer who left a hardscrabble farming community and abusive relationship to become one of the top recording artists of all time, died on Wednesday at the age of 83.
