Tina Turner a month before her demise had come to terms with the fact that her time on earth was limited.

The singer was conscious of her "great danger" as a result of a kidney ailment.

"My kidneys are victims of my not realising [sic] that my high blood pressure should have been treated with conventional medicine," she shared on Instagram on March 9.

"I have put myself in great danger by refusing to face the reality that I need daily, lifelong therapy with medication. For far too long I believed that my body was an untouchable and indestructible bastion."

During her final outing in public, the Proud Mary singer sent a special message to her supporters.

The singer asked her followers to "keep on rocking" in a November 2021 speech.

"Hi, everybody, it was really special when I heard that the Hall of Fame was giving me a trophy," Turner said in the video as she pictured sitting next to the piano.

"If they’re still giving me awards at 81, I must have done something right. Yeah, this is mine, only I don’t care of you now," she said with a laugh.

"I’m very happy to have this and to have achieved this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," she concluded while holding the statue. "It’s great. Thank you."

After a protracted illness, Tina Turner has gone away at the age of 83. The singer passed away in her home in Kusnacht, a Swiss town close to Zurich.

Her spokesperson said: "Tina Turner, the 'Queen of Rock 'n' Roll' died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland."

"With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model."
