While Beyoncé’s absence may disappoint some, Turner, a musical icon, died in May, leaving a legacy of groundbreaking performances and timeless hits. Memorable musical performances and moving tributes to industry legends.

A representative for the superstar confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter after rumors circulated on social media that she would take the stage to honor the late icon, Tina Turner.

Last month, the Australian Today show tweeted that Beyonce would pay tribute to Turner onstage, and the news has since spread on X (formerly known as Twitter), leading many to believe it is true. Turner died in her home in Kusnacht, near Zurich, Switzerland, last May after a lengthy illness.
