I’m praying for the good health of my family, friends, fans, and all humankind, and I look forward to seeing everyone again when we come out of this ordeal. I also believe this crisis can be a reminder to appreciate the treasure of everyday life. Just as spring is inevitable, I believe that so is the end of this pandemic. But I also know that when we choose hope over despair, we can find peace, no matter what’s going on around us. Here’s what I’d like to say to everyone: I know, from my own life, that as we go through adversity it can feel as if we’re stuck in an endless winter, and that spring may never come.


But that’s nothing compared to how hard this period has been for so many people who have lost loved ones or suffered from this illness, and even more who have lost their livelihoods. My age and health require that I stay close to home. First of all, how are you doing during the pandemic. Variety caught up with the 81-year-old music icon, who lives in Switzerland, via email ahead of the the book’s release on Dec. In her new memoir, “Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good,” Tina Turner explores spirituality and her Buddhist practice and how they have helped her overcome loss, negativity and domestic abuse.
