If anyone is at the show, I’d love to know if anyone says anything at curtain call. :-(

I’ve just seen the news. So sad. I saw her at Wembley in the mid 90s and it’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Her stage presence was off the scale.
Something should absolutely be said at the end of tonight’s show. RIP Tina 😥

Surely they'll need to acknowledge it at the interval? Some people will find out on their phones and it will create a very difficult atmosphere?

Easily the best concert I have ever seen. Bryan Adams band were support. David Bowie was special guest. The 1985 Private Dancer tour ~ NEC Birmingham. She sang Springsteen’s Dancing in the Dark from a handwritten lyric sheet. I was in the front audience section in beige corduroys and a pink sweat cardigan from oasis Birmingham. ( Duran Duranies you know where this is/ was ) . Just amazing. God bless you Tina - a true legend.

This is a tough loss, what an epic life she led.
So glad I got to see her last tour. What an electric performer, and that voice. RIP.

Does anyone know how they broke the news over at Tina the musical!?!
Must have been surreal watching a musical about an artist and then half way through or at the end you find out the real life person has passed away.
Very sad news, grew up listening to Tina's music, borrowing my mothers cassettes and blaring them in my bedroom dancing around pretending to be like Ms Turner.

The 90’s biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It is a good watch if you can crack it down somewhere. Angela Bassett as Tina with Laurence Fishburn as Ike. Both fantastic performances and an emotionally charged story of her early career and being married to an abuser.

Wonderful woman. RIP.
As a family lawyer, I can vouch for how inspirational she was in bringing domestic abuse awareness out into the open…

Such sad news , she was an extraordinary performer, and from everyone I know who was lucky enough to meet her- a delightful woman too.

A true legend and role model. One of the artists I wish I could have seen live.
I’ve booked myself a ticket for the Tina matinee today - just want to hear all those songs again I think it will be a very touching performance.

(I believe) she had been unwell for some time.
Such a loss to the music industry internationally!

Every west end theatre dimmed their lights at 7pm tonight in memory of Tina, was lovely to be a part of from the box office I work at.
My mum was saying to me earlier it shows what a legend she was that people from teenagers up to nonagenarians are feeling the loss.
