Turner died at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland on May 24, after years of struggling with intestinal cancer. Her representatives confirmed her passing on social media and sent their heartfelt condolences to her family.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner.  With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music,” reads the official statement by Turner’s representatives.

Turner’s rise to prominence started during the ’60s with Ike & Tina Turner, but she started forging her own path once they went their separate way. She found even bigger success as a solo act and went on to sell over 100 million records, win 12 Grammy Awards, and earn her legendary nickname: the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Many fellow artists mourned her loss and shared touching stories about Turner in the wake of her passing, including Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, Beyoncé, Mick Jagger, and Cher, among others.

According to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s official rules, an artist or a band is eligible for a nomination at least 25 years after their first commercial recording.

In addition to the previously mentioned artists, the list of this year’s nominees also includes Mary J. Blige, Kate Bush, Devo, The Go-Go’s, Iron Maiden, Chaka Khan, Fela Kuti, LL Cool J, New York Dolls, Rage Against the Machine, Todd Rundgren, Dionne Warwick, and Carole King.

Seven out of 16 nominees made the cut for the first time, and the chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, John Sykes, believes they left a significant impact on the music industry.

“This remarkable ballot reflects the diversity and depth of the artists and music the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame celebrates. These nominees have left an indelible impact on the sonic landscape of the world and influenced countless artists that have followed them,” said Sykes in a press release.

Inductees will be announced in May, with the official Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony taking place in Cleveland, Ohio this fall.
