Tina Turner celebrated one of her many accomplishments in the last photo she shared of herself before her death.
The “Proud Mary” singer looked cozy at home in black pants and a matching sweater while wearing her hair down and going makeup-free in the snap she tweeted in March 2021.
Turner smiled and held up her fists in front of a big TV screen playing “Tina,” HBO’s documentary about her life.
“I am so excited to share this movie with you – seeing the concert scenes made me relive some of the proudest moments of my life,” she captioned the photo. “I simply had to sing along and dance around my living room.”
In the film, the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll looked back at her six-decade career, telling fans, “Some people say the life that I lived and the performances that I gave, the appreciation … I should be proud of that. I am.
“But when do you stop being proud? I mean, when do you, how do you bow out slowly? Just go away?”
Turner died Wednesday at her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, after battling a long illness. She was 83.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner,” a statement on her official Instagram said.
“With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow.”
The statement concluded, “Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly.”
Tributes for the legendary performer flooded in from celebrities including Magic Johnson, Cher, Beyoncé and more.

She is survived by her husband, Erwin Bach, and two of her four children.
