eating lunch with Carolyn said, Iknow, eighty three years old. She
apparently had a long fight with multipleillnesses that they didn't go into detail,
totally find to respect her privacy.But Tina was just such an icon.

celebrities that came in contact. Imean, I think about the first person

I thought about was Oprah Winfrey.What a Tina fan she was. And
when you can take a celebrity likea Beyonce or an Oprah Winfrey that when
Tina is in their presence, theymelt, That's when you know you were
someone a true superstar like she wasjust as big as they come. And
I think she connected the audiences inways that few performers do. Just because

of where she came from her journey, like the struggle she had in her
life. And you know, evenpeople like me who I wasn't into her
music right away as a younger kid, but man I loved her on Mad
Max Beyond Thunder. Oh yeah,that was the thing too. She could

better. So my legacy is aperson that strived for wanting it better and
got it incredible. I do too, I mean just an icon, a
