01:31UK: 'She was an incredible figure' - Londoners pay tribute to Tina Turner
Fans and theatre-goers bring flowers in memory of the late Tina Turner outside the Aldwych Theatre in London, Thursday.
"Her music spoke to millions no matter what. She was an incredible figure. I am here to pay my respect to an incredible woman," one of the speakers said.
Another respondent mentioned that his favourite of Tina Turner was the 'Proud Mary'. "I remember when I was 12 and I heard it for the first time. It changes my mood any day of the week," the man added.
"Tina... I always loved her. My best is 'Simply the Best'. We booked these tickets two weeks ago. We didn’t know it was going to fall on this day. But I am very pleased that we are here today," another visitor said.
Turner shot to fame in the 1950s as part of the 'Ike and Tina Turner Revue' and subsequently launched a successful solo career with hits including 'What's love got to do with it' and 'The Best'.
She left an immense mark on the West End, not only as a highly acclaimed artist with 12 Grammy Awards and over 100 million records sold worldwide, but with her life story that was turned into a hit musical 'Tina - The Tina Turner Musical' which has been in London's West End for the last five years.
"With her, the world loses a music legend and role model," her spokesperson, Bernard Doherty, said in a press release.
She died at home on Wednesday after a long, unspecified illness, and will have a private funeral ceremony.
