Mick Jagger has paid a glowing tribute to his "wonderful friend" Tina Turner.

The 79-year-old singer of The Rolling Stones has taken to social media to hail the music icon, who died on Wednesday (May 24), aged 83.

He wrote on Instagram: "I'm so saddened by the passing of my wonderful friend Tina Turner. She was truly an enormously talented performer and singer. She was inspiring, warm, funny and generous. She helped me so much when I was young and I will never forget her."

Elsewhere, Brian Wilson, the co-founder of The Beach Boys, has also taken to social media to hail the award-winning star, describing her as "one of the greats".

He wrote on Twitter: "I'm so sorry to hear about Tina Turner. I loved Tina and her voice and energy — she was one of the greats. "River Deep, Mountain High" will always be one of my favourite songs. And nothing beats her version of "Proud Mary." I loved her musical too. Love and Mercy. (sic)"
