Tina Turner has dedicated much of her life to thrilling audiences worldwide, hence’s it’s only fitting that she’s saluted accordingly.

The 2018 Grammys will do exactly that on January 28th, for it’s been announced that the Queen of Rock will receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.

Per a statement issued moments ago, Turner leads the list of honorees that is also comprised of Queen, Hal Blaine, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Louis Jordan, and the Meters.

The Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates performers who have made outstanding contributions of artistic significance to the field of recording.

Notable in its timing, news of the honor comes as 78-year-old Turner gears up to share her life-story via a new book and West End theater run in London.

Loooooong overdue!

Yay! About time! Just watched the Ike & Tina story this past weekend.

very Strange...Am I the only one that thought she already received the honor?

Anyways....here's the $64K question...Does OL'girl give a fuck enough to fly back to The States and sit in the audience?

As long as they dont drag out Beyonce to sing her songs and pretend she is Tina

She's long overdue for some further recognition. But I'm mainly talking about her Rock and R&B roots



Anyways... I'm more concerned about whether or not John Deacon will show up and accept for QUEEN. (I hope MayLor don't dare take Adam Lambert to the stage when accepting)


They're long overdue for anything... I think this is convenient timing for the film.


Thanks for the post. I was going to start a separate one RE: QUEEN..but eh... not necessary

.

Kelly Clarkson or Beyonce does Proud Mary, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift do We Don't Need Another Hero, Rihanna does Whats Love Got To Do With It. Shame she has such good songs and not many artists to perform them well.

.

Tina films a thank you and sends it in. I hope they don't do Tina like they did Diana recently with that "medley" at the AMAs.

Still got dem legs.

I just got sick to my stomach at the thought of that happening!

If there is an upsideto having Beyonce pay tribute, people can receive insight as to who was a direct influence on her and that she isn't this innovative queen of music.

I'd only want to see this if her seams ripped while shaking it... though she already does so liberally.


I'd like to see em pop out someday.....would be nice

2045RadicalMattZ said:

Huh, if they had done this a few years ago Tina would've shown 'em live where it all started from... Even ole Mick Jagger said he got his moves from Tina... Are you listening, Beyawnce?

If Deacon shows up then the world as we know it will come to an end. He didn't show up for the Brit Awards, so he certainly won't show up for the Grammys. Would take time away from him spending the Queen royalties.

Thanks, its about time .......Show Some Respect live

Kesha had a very moving and powerful performance. Brought tears to my eyes, knowing what all she's been through.

Was this televised because I watched the whole show and didn't see this.

All I seen was an annoucement saying she was awarded with the Lifetime award. I did not see anything else about it. Which is a crying shame.

I've read elswhere that there's supposed to be a FOLLOW UP awards show regarding the Lifetime Achievement awards...

Dunno if that's bunk or not. I'm not inthat industry n e mo

THIS was on some media website:

Congratulations are in order! Just a few days after Neil Diamond revealed he's sadly battling Parkinson's disease, the singer was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2018 Grammys. Although it wasn't televised tonight, it's been said that there will be a special presentation ceremony and concert honoring all the recipients sometime this summer. We can't wait to watch!
