King Charles III paid tribute to the late Queen of Rock’ n’ Roll, who he first met in 1986, when the iconic singer came to London to perform at the Prince’s Trust All-Star Rock Concert held at Wembley Stadium.
Unlike others who have written flowery social media odes in honor of Turner, Charles chose a different route by allowing the Band of the Welsh Guards to perform a rendition of his hit song, “The Best.”
The band were filmed playing the song during the changing of the guard in front of Buckingham Palace on Friday, two days after the singer died.

Since his death, many celebrities, including Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Cindy Crawford, Cher and Angela Bassett, Mariah Carey, Magic Johnson, and Martha Stewart, have all paid special tributes to him.
The “Proud Mary” singer is survived by her second husband of 67 years, Erwin Bach, and two of her four children.
Tina Turner Is Not Afraid to Die

A month ago, Turner revealed in an interview, per guardian, that he is not afraid of death and is ready to “embrace and accept each day with what it brings”.
This comes after he admitted in March that kidney disease had put his health in “grave danger.”
“My kidneys are victims of my ignorance [sic] that my high blood pressure should be treated with conventional medicine,” he said in a post on Instagram in conjunction with World Kidney Day.
The late singer was diagnosed with hypertension in 1978 but mismanaged the health issue, which led to a stroke in 2009. In the years that followed, he only took unconventional medicine to deal with his hypertension, which led to the deterioration of his kidney health.
