Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll, has died at the age of 83.
The iconic singer died at her home in Küsnach near Zurich, Switzerland, today following a long, unspecified illness.
Her representatives confirmed her death, saying: ‘With her the world loses a music legend and role model.’
She is survived by two of her four sons – two preceded her in death – and her husband, Erwin Bach.
Born Anna-Mae Bullock in 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee, to Zelma and Floyd Bullock, Turner overcame a turbulent childhood and abusive marriage to become a musical sensation and legendary performer.
