Beyoncé is thinking about how Tina Turner changed her life. The singer, Beyoncé pays tribute to Tina Turner, who died last week at age 83, by singing "River Deep, Mountain High" with a lot of emotion during a stop on her "Renaissance" world tour in London on Monday.
As she stood in front of the sold-out crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the singer of "Cuff It" sang the words to the 1996 hit song at a slower pace. Beyoncé has never been shy about how much she likes Tina Turner. In 2005, the singer from Houston did a tribute to "Proud Mary" at The Kennedy Center Honors. She told the crowd who she looks to for support when she needs it the most.

Tina Turner has been Beyoncé's idol and source of motivation for a long time. In 2008, the two of them sang "Proud Mary" together at the Grammys, and after she died, Beyoncé turned her website into a tribute to her. Beyoncé wrote a touching tribute to her on the day she died and posted it on social media,
“„My beloved queen, I love you endlessly. I’m so grateful for your inspiration and all the ways you have paved the way. You are strength and resilience. You are the epitome of power and passion. We are all so fortunate to have witnessed your kindness and beautiful spirit that will forever remain. Thank you for all you have done.- Beyoncé
At her show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London on Monday (May 29), Queen Bee paid tribute to the music pioneer in the best way possible. The pop star sang a stripped-down version of Turner's 1966 R&B hit "River Deep, Mountain High" in front of tens of thousands of people, including Dua Lipa, Frank Ocean, Kim Kardashian, and Kris Jenner.

The singer belted out a power ballad version of the song while wearing an electric blue gloved outfit with a sheer skirt and a sparkling necklace. It comes after she paid tribute to the singer of "What's Love Got to Do with It" at her Paris show on Friday (May 26).
Turner died last week at her home in Switzerland. She was one of the best-selling singers of all time and was known as the "Queen of Rock and Roll." Her two grown boys and her husband, Erwin Bach, will remember her.
When the singer died, everyone in the music world, from Mariah Carey to Dolly Parton, Madonna to Diana Ross, paid honor to her. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, who were both presidents before Joe Biden, also made a comment. During the change of the guard at Buckingham Palace, when King Charles III paid tribute to Turner, her hit song "The Best" was played.
Turner and Beyoncé have already played together. They sang "Proud Mary," a Creedence Clearwater Revival song that Turner was known for, at the 2008 Grammy Awards. When Turner was being recognized at the Kennedy Center three years ago, Beyoncé sang the same song.
Turner won a lot of awards for her unique mix of R&B, soul, pop, and rock. She won 12 Grammy Awards, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and sold more than 100 million songs. She was the first Black singer and the first woman to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Throughout her career, she opened a lot of doors for other people.
Conclusion
Tina Turner was Beyoncé's favorite singer, and she died. The singer of "Single Ladies" used her Renaissance tour of the U.K. to pay tribute to Turner, who died last Wednesday (May 24) at the age of 83.
Beyoncé sang a stripped-down version of Ike & Tina Turner's 1966 hit "River Deep, Mountain High," which was originally produced by Phil Spector. She wore an all-blue outfit and gloves that matched. This time, Bey didn't try to match Turner's high-energy version. Instead, she made a power ballad out of the song.
