This week, at the age of 83, Tina Turner, who was hailed by many as the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” passed away. Despite battling a number of health issues over the previous few years, such as cancer, a stroke, and kidney failure, the legendary singer-songwriter remained upbeat and optimistic right up until the very end.
According to a statement posted on social media on Wednesday, “She enchanted millions of fans around the world with her music and her boundless passion for life and inspired the stars of tomorrow.”. We say goodbye to a close friend today, leaving behind her greatest contribution to the world: her music. ”.

According to Radar, Turner made an effort to resolve all estate-related issues over the past few years to prevent family disputes over the money she would leave behind. Over the past ten years, Turner has gone through a number of tragic setbacks. Before receiving a kidney transplant in 2017, she battled intestinal cancer. Additionally, she had to deal with the suicide deaths of two of her children: Ronnie in late 2022 and her other child, Craig Turner, who passed away in 2017. At her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, close to Zurich, Tina is said to have passed away “peacefully.”.
In June 1987, American singer Tina Turner gave a live performance at Wembley Arena in London as part of her Break Every Rule world tour. From June 11 to June 18, 1987, Tina Turner performed at the Arena a total of 7 times. Given her failing health and advanced age, Turner’s public appearances and social media posts have dwindled in recent years.

The What’s Love Got to Do With It singer appeared to step firmly out of the spotlight in order to cherish her remaining time with husband Erwin Bach. In fact, one has to go back to 2021 to find her final photo post to Twitter, which many are labeling a fitting final image for a woman who inspired so many people around the world after overcoming the odds to become a music phenomenon. The documentary honoring her life, Tina, had just been released at the time, and the icon herself appeared to be very pleased with the result. Turner tweeted a picture of herself in front of a large TV while she watched the documentary at home. She wrote in the caption of the picture, “I am so excited to share this movie with you – seeing the concert scenes made me relive some of the proudest moments of my life.
I couldn’t help but join in and dance around my living room. ”.

She made a pre-recorded appearance to commemorate her solo induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the late 2021. At the time, Tina remarked, “I must have done something right if they’re still giving me awards at 81.”. I’m overjoyed to have it and to have accomplished it. ”.
We will all miss Tina a lot, I believe I can speak for everyone when I say that. A truly unmatched musical talent, and such a motivating role model for millions.
