In a touching tribute, Cher fondly recalls her recent reunion with the legendary Tina Turner before her passing at the age of 83. On a somber Wednesday, it was confirmed by her publicist Bernard Doherty to PEOPLE that Turner had succumbed to a prolonged illness. However, Cher’s account sheds light on the joyous moments they shared during their final meeting at Turner’s home in tranquil Zurich, Switzerland.

Recognizing the importance of cherishing their enduring friendship, Cher made it a priority to spend quality time with Turner. “I felt a deep need to reconnect and show her that she was still in our hearts,” Cher revealed during an interview with MSNBC. “So, one by one, we took turns visiting her, and the simple act of being there brought a smile to her face.”
