Beyoncé took a moment this week to honor Tina Turner by performing one of the late legend's classics.
While on her Renaissance World Tour in London, Beyoncé paid tribute by delivering a beautiful rendition of Turner's 1966 classic "River Deep - Mountain High."
You can watch the emotional performance below.
While this was Beyoncé's first vocal performance honoring Turner, she did honor the icon in other ways last week upon learning of her passing at the age of 83.
Viewers of the "Crazy in Love" singer's heartfelt tribute acknowledged Beyoncé's audible grief.
They commended her for so beautifully honoring her hero.
