Queen of Rock 'n' Roll: Tina Turner's final performance goes viral

Following the death of Tina Turner earlier this week, new footage from her final performance has re-emerged.

The music icon passed away peacefully at her home near Zurich, Switzerland after a battle with a long illness, her spokesperson shared. "With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model."

Fans across the world are now revisiting the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll’s last show, which wrapped up May 5, 2009, at the Sheffield Arena. Here, she performed a number of best-selling hits like ‘(Simply) The Best’, ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ and ‘River Deep, Mountain High’.

Elton John, Mick Jagger, Questlove, Lizzo, Ronnie Wood, Debbie Harry and Karen O are among musicians who have paid tribute to the legendary singer, with Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles posting footage of the pair in the studio together ahead of their Grammys duet a number of years ago.

"She was truly an enormously talented performer and singer," Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger eulogised. "She was inspiring, warm, funny and generous. She helped me so much when I was young and I will never forget her."

Roger Davies, her manager of 30 years, called her "a unique and remarkable force of nature with her strength, incredible energy and immense talent" and said he would miss her deeply.

Turner previously had intestinal cancer and suffered a stroke, revealing in 2018 that her husband Erwin had donated a kidney to save her life as she contemplated assisted suicide.

The singer began performing alongside ex-husband Ike Turner, who subjected her to years of abuse. She resurrected her career in the early 1980s - taking it to new heights and becoming one of the world's biggest music stars.
