Tina Turner, the American-born singer who left a hardscrabble farming community and abusive relationship to become one of the top recording artists of all time, died on Wednesday at the age of 83.
She died peacefully after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, her representative said.
Turner began her career in the 1950s during the early years of rock and roll and evolved into an MTV phenomenon.
She battled a number of health problems after retiring and in 2018 she faced a family tragedy, when her oldest son, Craig, took his life at age 59 in Los Angeles. Her younger son Ronnie died in December 2022.
She is survived by her husband, German music executive Erwin Bach, and two sons of Ike Turner's that she adopted.

Young ppl this is what you call an Icon. Not these tired a$$ rappers like Da Brat with a few hits from the 80ty's, 90ty's or less years. She Queen opened doors for black women. She was at the vey top of her game.
Private dancer… dancing for money

I know Ike is sitting at the pearly gates to welcome you Tina.
Those LEGS though.
It’s all on Janelle Monet now.
It’s about to be at the point where all the greats is gone and nobody stepped up to replace them. Geeesch.
DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! R.I.P. Mz. T

Simply the Best. Rest Well Queen Tina
This true icon will be really missed. RIP Ms. Turner.
Ike? Honey, the angels will welcome her with open arms.
Ike is not standing at the Pearly gates. Think of a place lower.
So glad I witnessed her live and that she passed into the next realm after a well-lived and well-loved life. We love you Tina, rest in power Queen.
R.I.P. Ms.Tina Turner
Private dancer was my jam. At least it was my mother’s jam. I had to listen to it though. And now, when I hear it, it’s my jam too.
RIP
Who will replace her? Luther V. ain’t been replaced yet.
