What a night to remember!

Tina Turner, Elton John and Cher performed an iconic version of 'Proud Mary' on live television in 1999.

The incredible trio stormed the stage and delighted the audience and showed the younger singers how it was done at the VH1 Divas Live '99 New York gig.

Tina kicked off the show with a four-song set, starting with 'The Best' and culminating with a high energy performance of 'Proud Mary' accompanied by Elton John on the piano.

While Ms Turner shows off her incredible dance moves and powerful singing voice, it's halfway through that things really step up a gear!

Cher shimmies onto the stage - in a trademark glittery silver ensemble - and joins Tina for the huge song as the two link arms and dance together.

Tina, Cher and Elton then continue to set the stage on fire as the three sing the lyrics to 'Proud Mary', culminating in an incredible crescendo that sends the audience wild.
