BET Her and VH1 will air an encore of the special Friday May 26, at 10 AM ET/PT and at 6 PM ET/PT, respectively.

“Tina Turner was a global powerhouse, humanitarian, and undisputable Queen of Rock & Roll. We are deeply saddened by the news of her passing,” stated Scott Mills of BET Media Group. “Tina Turner’s gritty vocals, high-octane performances and award-winning platinum hits are unforgettable. Her rise from humble beginnings to overcoming professional and personal adversity led her to become one of the most successful recording artists of all time. We join so many in celebration of her life, legacy, and immeasurable contributions to the arts. She was simply the best.”

“BET & ET Present Tina Turner: Life and Legacy,” will recount some definitive moments in the life of Tina Turner, including how she didn’t think “What’s Love Got To Do With It” would become a hit; her dream of becoming an actor; and never giving up on finding true love.
