So far, the Renaissance World Tour has been filled with touching moments. But Beyoncé’s latest onstage moment might move you to tears. During the “America Has A Problem” singer’s stop in London, she took a moment during her jam-packed set to pay tribute to the late Tina Turner.
Performing the late entertainer’s 1966 song “River Deep – Mountain High,” Beyoncé showed how much her ‘beloved queen’ influenced her career.

When the news of Turner’s passing was announced, Beyoncé shared a few words on stage in Paris in her memory. “If you’re a fan of mine, you’re a fan of Tina Turner. I wouldn’t be on this stage without Tina Turner. I want you guys to scream so she can feel your love. I feel so blessed that I was alive to witness her brilliance,” said the singer.
