Two months prior to her death this week at age 83, Tina Turner opened up about having put herself "in great danger" over her health.

For International World Kidney Day on March 9, the music superstar warned her social media followers about the importance of keeping an eye on your kidney health, especially since the kidneys can begin to fail without pain.

"Show your kidneys love! They deserve it. My kidneys are victims of my not realising that my high blood pressure should have been treated with conventional medicine," she wrote in an Instagram post. "I have put myself in great danger by refusing to face the reality that I need daily, lifelong therapy with medication. For far too long I believed that my body was an untouchable and indestructible bastion.
