King Charles III Honors Late Singer Tina Turner With Moving ‘Rendition Of ‘The Best’ By Royal Band
King Charles III has joined the notable figures to pay tribute to the late Tina Turner. On Friday, the monarch allowed the Band of the Welsh Guards to perform a rendition of her hit song, “The Best,” during the change of guard.
Following a video of the performance going viral, fans of the singer praised the band and thanked King Charles for the sweet gesture. Turner reportedly died of natural causes at 83 after battling with multiple health challenges for years.

Royal Band Plays Tina Turner’s ‘The Best
King Charles III paid tribute to the late Queen of Rock’ n’ Roll, whom he first met in 1986, when the iconic singer came to London to perform at the Prince’s Trust All-Star Rock Concert held in Wembley Stadium.
Unlike others who have written flowery social media odes in honor of Turner, Charles chose a different route by allowing the Band of the Welsh Guards to perform a rendition of her hit song, “The Best.”
The band was videoed playing the song during the changing of the guard in front of Buckingham Palace on Friday, two days after the singer passed on.
Simply the best!! ?

The First Battalion Welsh Guards Corps of Drums also joined the band; all dressed in their official attire. The rendition used several brass instruments, including the trombone, trumpet, and bass drums.
A superb solo by one of the band members could be heard midway through the piece, which received applause from onlookers.
Fans React To The Heartfelt Tribute
The performance elicited a warm response from fans of the late singer, who shared their gratitude to the King for honoring Turner in such a manner.
One fan tweeted, “OMG! I’m so excited and emotional about this wonderful tribute. Thanks, your Majestic King Charles, and thanks to the honorable Welsh Guards Band. I LOVE IT.”
Another fan commented, “That was Simply The Best tribute Tina would have shimmied to it,” while another wrote, “Amazing tribute to an incredible woman.”
A fourth person said, “A lovely tribute to Tina by the WelshGuards! I felt happy and sad listening to it! Thank you for all the songs, Tina.”
Several others described the performance as “perfect,” “awesome,” “fabulous,” “fantastic,” and “beautiful.”
Tina Turner Died At Age 83 Of Natural Causes
Turner, who reportedly died of natural causes at age 83, made her last public appearance in 2019 at the musical debut based on her life.
She won 12 Grammy awards during her long career and was inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Her demise was announced on Wednesday via her official Instagram account. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner,” read the post, alongside a black and white picture of the singer.
The post also reflected on how the late singer impacted many fans and aspiring singers with her music, adding that it was a “legacy” that won’t be forgotten.
Since her death, many celebrities, including Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Cindy Crawford, Cher and Angela Bassett, Mariah Carey, Magic Johnson, and Martha Stewart, have all paid special tribute to her.
The “Proud Mary” singer is survived by her 67-year-old second husband, Erwin Bach, and two of her four kids.
Tina Turner Wasn’t Afraid Of Dying
A month ago, Turner revealed in an interview, per The Guardian, that she wasn’t afraid of dying and was ready to “embrace and accept every day with what it brings.”
This comes after she admitted in March that a kidney disease had put her health in “great danger.”
“My kidneys are victims of my not realizing [sic] that my high blood pressure should have been treated with conventional medicine,” she said in a post on Instagram in honor of International World Kidney Day.
The late singer was diagnosed with hypertension in 1978 but mismanaged the health issue, which led to a stroke in 2009. In the years after, she only took nonconventional medicine to deal with her hypertension, leading to a decline in the health of her kidneys.
