Remarks by President Joe Biden on the Demise of Tina Turner

Long before her coronation as the Sovereign of Rock and Roll, Tina Turner was merely a humble farmer’s child in the heartland of Tennessee. Her musical journey commenced in the innocent confines of a church choir, a prelude to her meteoric rise as one of the world’s most revered recording artists.

Garnering a dozen Grammy Awards, Tina stands as the sole female artist to clinch victories in the pop, rock, and R&B genres, testament to her innate versatility, boundless creativity, and sweeping appeal. Audiences in the millions would throng her live performances, captivated by her electrifying dance sequences. Her timeless hits such as “Proud Mary”, “The Best”, “What’s Love Got to Do with It”, still resonate with fans of all ages, belted out passionately and unabashedly in collective celebration.

Tina was more than an era-defining talent who indelibly transformed the face of American music; she was a paragon of personal resilience. Despite grueling adversities and distressing abuse, Tina emerged triumphant, curating an enviable career trajectory, and sculpting a life and legacy that are quintessentially hers.
