Patti LaBelle is admitting she wasn't able to see the lyrics on the teleprompter throughout her Tina Turner tribute.
LaBelle spoke with ET's Kevin Frazier backstage after her performance and opened up about why it was so important for her to honor Turner at the event and what it meant to her.
Turner died peacefully after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, last month. She was 83.
