Lizzo paid tribute to the late music legend Tina Turner with a high-powered cover of Turner’s signature song, “Proud Mary,” at her concert in Phoenix, Arizona, on Wednesday night.
“Today we lost an icon,” Lizzo told the audience before launching into the song. She added that she didn’t want to cry, but to celebrate Turner, who died on Wednesday at the age of 83.
“I would not exist if it not for the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Lizzo said as the crowd roared. “There would be no rock ‘n’ roll without Tina Turner,” she shouted multiple times in this clip shared to Instagram.
