Chlöe Bailey paid homage to a legend, performing a Tina Turner tribute to headline CNN’s “Juneteenth: A Global Celebration for Freedom” concert Monday evening (June 18).
The R&B singer took on a classic song from the late “Queen of Rock & Roll,” wowing the crowd with her beautiful “What’s Love Got To Do With It” rendition. Bailey donned a retro curly wig and red and gold bodysuit as she belted out the iconic tune. Tina Turner died at her home near Zurich, Switzerland on May 24. She was 83.
“Rest In Power to the great Tina Turner” she declared before beginning the song. “This one’s for you. I love you!”

Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the crowd at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre. She said the story of Juneteenth is “the story of our ongoing fight to realize America’s promise—not for some, but for all.”
Harris added, “I was so proud to co-sponsor a bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. And as Vice President, it was my honor to stand beside our President, Joe Biden, as he signed the legislation that finally made that dream a reality.”
