The Who’s Pete Townshend Shares Eulogy For Tina Turner

The legendary Tina Turner passed away yesterday and the tributes have been rolling in. The Who’s Pete Townshend is the latest to offer up his condolences. Turner, of course, appeared in the film adaptation of the Who’s rock opera Tommy, portraying the Acid Queen and singing the song that bears that characters’ name, which in turn became the title of Turner’s 1975 album. In a statement posted on the Who’s official website, Townshend said she was “an astonishing performer, and astounding singer … an R&B groundbreaker.”
