Tina Turner, Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll and Long Hair; The singer, songwriter, actor and dancer died on Wednesday, May 24 at the age of 83 at his home in Zurich, Switzerland. In 2017, the artist received a kidney transplant from her second husband, Erwin Bach, who accompanied her to the end. However, his death would be colon cancer, according to some unofficial media.
The artist, who was a Swiss American citizen, died just five months after her son Ronnie Turner passed away on December 8 at the age of 62.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Tina Turner. With his music and boundless passion for life, he captured millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow.

The singer was born on November 26, 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee. He was of African and Native American descent.

Throughout her life, Tina overcame great challenges and became a music legend thanks to her mesmerizing deep voice and immense presence. His career began in the 1950s when he joined Ike’s band as a backup singer, but it wasn’t long before his talent led him to become a center stage star.

He was 59 when he died so tragically, but he will always be my baby,” the veteran artist, who also released his son Ronnie last December, said at the time.
