To close the Rolling Stone UK Awards 2024, the cast of TINA: The Tina Turner Musical performed a medley of the late icon’s greatest hits.

The Queen of rock‘n’roll would have turned 85 this week, and the cast of the long-running West End musical hit the Roundhouse to honour her to close out tonight’s show.

The performance began with a rendition of the timeless ‘Simply the Best’, before a finale megamix of ‘Nutbush’ and ‘Proud Mary’.

Watch the full performance below.
