“Another long-time friend has made her transition,” she shared. “Not only will I miss that eternal ball of energy named Tina Turner, but the entire world will also find this void in their lives. My condolences to her husband and other members of her family. Rest in Peace, my friend!”

While Turner’s career spanned decades, the song, alongside others like  “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” “Better Be Good to Me,” “Private Dancer,” and “The Best,” are some of her most recognized and helped propel her to win a total of 12Grammy Awards.

Roger Davies, her longtime manager, also paid remembrance to her career in a statement to PEOPLE. “Tina was a unique and remarkable force of nature with her strength, incredible energy and immense talent,” he wrote. “From the first day I met her in 1980 she believed in herself completely when few others did at that time.”

“It was a privilege and an honour to have been a close friend as well as her manager for more than 30 years,” continued Davies. “I will miss her deeply.”
