Tina Turner Honoured With Statue in Her Tennessee Hometown

News, Uncategorized

Tennessee, the rural community where she grew up before rising to global stardom.

The bronze tribute, revealed Saturday at a local park, comes a little over two years after the Grammy-winning icon’s passing in May 2023 at the age of 83.

Created by sculptor Fred Ajanogha, the statue captures Turner’s signature stage presence—complete with her trademark wild hairstyle, microphone in hand, and the powerful posture that defined her electrifying performances. Ajanogha said he sought to reflect her energy and movement, comparing her hair to the “mane of a lion.”

Turner first gained fame in the 1960s and ’70s performing alongside her then-husband Ike Turner, before launching a wildly successful solo career. Her catalog includes timeless hits such as “Proud Mary,” “Nutbush City Limits,” “Private Dancer,” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero” from the film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Beyond music, Turner also made her mark in Hollywood, appearing in films including Tommy and Last Action Hero.

The new statue stands as a lasting reminder of Turner’s legacy—honoring a small-town Tennessee girl who became the undisputed “Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll.”
