“Yes, I’m 80,” Turner began. “How did I think I would be at 80? Not like this. How is this? Well, I look great, I feel good, I’ve gone through some very serious sickness that I’m overcoming. So it’s like having a second chance at life. I’m happy to be an 80-year-old woman,” she said in the message.

A fan replied: “I never wanted to be 80-year-old like now. I want to become this beautiful, vital and glamorous. God bless your life. Happy birthday, Tina.”
“Love you Tina. You look beautiful as forever. Thanks for sharing your phenomenal voice and talent’s with the world’s people who support and love you by buying your music and videos. I remember standing in line to buy your albums and to see you on stage,” gushed another fan.
