Legendary singer Tina Turner just celebrated her 80th birthday! And to mark this impressive milestone, she took to social media to share a very heartfelt message to her fans.

“Yes, I’m 80. How did I think I would be at 80? Not like this. “How is this?” she said in a short video. “Well, I look great, I feel good, I’ve gone through some very serious sicknesses that I’m overcoming. So it’s like having a second chance at life," the "Proud Mary" hitmaker continued.

Tina suffered a mild stroke after marrying German music executive Erwin Bach back in 2013 and also had a kidney transplant. Because of the stroke, she had to learn how to walk again.
