SINGER TINA TURNER has died at the age of 83 after a long illness, her publicist told the PA news agency.
Turner was known for such hits as Proud Mary and What’s Love Got To Do With It and her dynamic on-stage performances.
She retired from touring in 2008.
In a career spanning over 60 years, the American-Swiss singer, who was born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee, won eight competitive Grammy Awards, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.
Her autobiography, I, Tina, was turned into the 1993 film What’s Love Got To Do With It, dramatising the mother-of-two’s famously turbulent relationship with Ike Turner and it also saw Angela Bassett nominated for an Oscar for her performance as Tina in the biopic.
Turner, widely referred to as the Queen of Rock and Roll, wed her long-time German beau, the music executive Erwin Bach, in a Swiss civil ceremony in 2013, and has lived in Switzerland with him since 1994.
It was a second marriage for the music star, who was previously married to musician Ike from 1962 to 1978.
In her 1986 book, the singer narrated a harrowing tale of abuse, including suffering a broken nose during the course of her marriage to Ike.
Ike died in December 2007 and Tina’s spokeswoman at the time was quoted as saying: “Tina is aware that Ike passed away earlier today. She has not had any contact with him in 35 years. No further comment will be made.”
She had suffered ill health in recent years, being diagnosed with intestinal cancer in 2016 and having a kidney transplant in 2017.
Rolling Stone paid tribute to Tina, saying that her “influence on rock, R&B and soul singing and performance was immeasurable”.
Kwa mujibu wa familia, Turner alianza kuwa na hali mbaya ya Kiafya baada ya kugundulika kuwa na Saratani ya Utumbo mwaka 2016 na kupandikizwa Figo mwaka 2017.
Enzi za uhai wake, alifanikiwa kushawishi Wanawake wenye Asili ya Afrika, kufanya muziki wa Rock’N’Roll’ huku akitamba na nyimbo kama Whats Love Got To Do Wit It na Proud Mary.
