Iconic rock-n-roll singer Tina Turner, who died recently at 83 after a serious health battle, revealed in an interview weeks before her passing that even celebrities have celebrity crushes.
The late actress admitted to having a crush on Rolling Stones band member Mick Jagger. “I always had a crush on Mick Jagger,” she told The Guardian. “I loved it when we toured with the Rolling Stones.”

Tina wrote about the famous moment in her 2018 autobiography, Tina Turner: My Love Story. “Mick and I could never just stand there and sing— that wasn’t us. We had to do something,” Tina detailed. “He looked me over. I was wearing a tight-fitting black leather top and skirt, and I could see a naughty idea forming.”
“It wasn’t as if some random guy pulled off my skirt. It was like a boy I knew did it. A very old boy,” she added.
