'She’s one of the great artists in our generation,' Cher said of Tina Turner. 'There was no other person who could even come close to who she was.'
Although separated by an ocean, Cher and Turner still kept in close contact during the latter’s final years, during which Turner quietly suffered through health problems.
“First, she fought this sickness for such a long time, and she was so strong as you would think she would be,” Cher said. “And then towards the end, I know that she told me once, she said, ‘I’m really ready. I just don’t want to put up with this anymore.'” Cher also reminisced about the first time she ever saw Turner — onstage at San Francisco’s Cow Palace — and the last, during a visit to Turner’s Switzerland estate.
“I started going to visit her because I thought, ‘I need to put this time into our friendship so she knows that we haven’t forgotten her,'” Cher said. “It made her happy… She was really happy.”
