While I was not particularly a fan (although "Nutbush City Limits" was certainly catchy) I mention it here instead of the news section as she had strong links with Australia.

The story is an unusual one and she became the pin-up performer for the sport of Rugby League in Australia. It started with an Australian show biz manager, moved onto a major part in a Mad Max movie, and then into the unexpected world of Rugby League Football.

How Australia helped Tina Turner become a multi-Grammy-winning solo star

From rugby league to the Nutbush City Limits line dance and even What's Love Got to Do with It, Tina Turner had deep connections to Australia. Here's the story about how that happened.

She considered herself a "Buddhist-Baptist." She chanted and prayed.

So she's not saved and is in hell. You can't serve the one true God and a false god like budda. Sorry but I don't care what songs people sang. how good of an entertainer the were(or in her case weren't). People assume if they like some one they're in heaven. Sorry that's not the gospel truth .

I have no clue where her soul is. I can only hope she found Christ before she died.

While it was sad, I know that death is apart of life. So all we can do is honor her by still listening to her music.
