Queen of Rock n Roll, Tina Turner Dies at age 83

Tina Turner, one of the greatest vocalists of all time, died at the age of 83, according to a spokeswoman.

“Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock’n Roll,’ died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland,” they said in a statement.

“With her, the world loses a musical legend and a role model.”





The American-born musician was a beloved female rock vocalist known for her electrifying live performances. What’s Love Got to Do With It, Proud Mary, Private Dancer, and The Best are among her hits.


Her major break came in the 1960s, when she and her previous husband, Ike Turner, scored the legendary song River Deep, Mountain High.

Tina’s story of domestic violence at the hands of Ike was documented in a 1993 Hollywood film. Angela Basset starred in the film, which won three Oscars that year.
