We don’t technically have royalty here in the United States, but if we did, I can only imagine Tina Turner would have earned the title of “Dame” by now. (Turner has been a Swiss citizen for the last few years, but as I’m not sure how royalty works over there, let’s forget that particular fact for the benefit of this blog post.) Official title or no official title, I invite you all to join me in wishing “Dame” Tina Turner a very happy 80th birthday.
Turner, like all generous Sagittariuses, thanked her fans in a Twitter video:
“Yes, I’m 80,” she said. “How did I think I would be at 80? Not like this. How is this? Well, I look great, I feel good, I’ve gone through some very serious sicknesses that I’m overcoming. So it’s like having a second chance at life. I’m happy to be an 80-year-old woman.”
Turner’s had a couple of health setbacks over the last few years, having suffered a stroke in 2013 and intestinal cancer a few years later. Still, she does look great, and seems to be thriving, as she should be. So, again, happy birthday, Tina, and may your day be filled with joy and song. [People]
