She was a true icon. And what a struggle she had to overcome. And a fighter.Tragic news. My Dad woke me with the news of her passing.

I first saw her at St George Leagues. My friend was (still is) an entertainment journo and Roger Davies asked her to come along and interview Tina because he was relaunching her career post Ike.
Incidentally Roger Davies is an incredible story himself. An Aussie manager, he started with Sherbet, then Olivia Newton John, Tina Turner, Sade, and to this day, manages Cher and Pink.
Back to Tina, she was amazing at that show in dowdy old Kogarah and my friend said she was an absolute delight to interview.
Years later I worked at the Entertainment Centre and saw her lots of times. Brilliant every time. And dedicated. Her people told us that every night she'd go straight back to her hotel and drink green tea and meditate.
May she Rest in Peace.
