Today the life of the famous singer, actress and dancer Tina Turner ended. The representative of the star informed about the tragedy. “Tina Turner, “the queen of rock and roll”, died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness at her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland. With her, the world has lost a musical legend and role model,” said a statement quoted by Sky News.

Anna May Bullock (real name and surname of the singer) was born on November 26, 1939 in Tennessee. At the age of 16, she met musician Ike Turner and it completely changed her life.

During her career, Tina released 10 albums, 72 singles and won eight Grammy statuettes. In 1992, the singer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She bears the title “Queen of Rock and Roll” for her artistry, temperament and stage expressiveness. Tina is in the top ten best dancers in the world.

Turner entered the Guinness Book of Records twice. On January 16, 1988, she performed in front of 188,000 spectators at a stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She is also known as the singer who sold the most tickets for her concerts: in 1990 alone, she performed 121 times and the number of spectators exceeded four million. However, behind all these successes hide terrible tragedies in the life of the star.

In 1957, Tina began dating musician Raymond Hill, and a year later she gave birth to his son, Craig Raymond. He committed suicide in 2018. The singer scattered his ashes over the ocean.

From 1962 to 1978, the artist was married to musician Ike Turner. In this marriage, a second son, Ronald Renell, was born. He suffered from cancer and died on December 9, 2022.

Tina also adopted Turner’s two sons from a previous relationship, Ike and Michael. The singer became pregnant in 1968, but after learning that one of her husband’s friends, Ann Thomas, was expecting a child with him, she had an abortion. In the same year, the star of the scene tried to commit suicide. Tina claimed to have endured domestic violence for 16 years. Even after the divorce, she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder for a long time.

The artist had a long relationship with music producer Erwin Bach. On July 15, 2013, they got married. Three weeks after the wedding, Turner suffered a stroke and had to learn to walk again.

In 2016, Tina was diagnosed with bowel cancer. She opted for homeopathy to treat her high blood pressure, which led to kidney damage. Her husband saved her by donating a kidney. After the transplant, the singer lived for six years.
