Many celebrities and A-List stars have celebrated the life and legacy of the iconic singer, following her death at 83 after battling a series of health issues. “What a woman, what a life, what a warrior!” Alicia Keys wrote. “The songs you sang gave us the courage to step out and be our full selves. You are a fierce force as a woman and a performer! All of these things have been beacons of light for not only me, but all the people around the world finding ourselves and our fearlessness, through our vulnerability!”
