Tina Turner Cause of Death

Tina Turner, one of rock’s greatest vocalists and most charismatic performers, passed away at the age of 83, according to her spokesperson on May 24, 2023.

In a statement, they said: “Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock’n Roll’ has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland. The exact illness she suffered from was not revealed.

Tina Turner began her career in the 1950s during the early years of rock and roll and evolved into an MTV phenomenon.

Sometimes nicknamed the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Turner won six of her eight Grammy Awards in the 1980s. The decade saw her land a dozen songs on the Top 40, including “Typical Male,” “The Best,” “Private Dancer” and “Better Be Good to Me.” Her 1988 show in Rio de Janeiro drew 180,000 people, which remains one of the largest concert audiences for any single performer.

She struggled with a number of health issues after retiring, and in 2018, her oldest son, Craig, committed suicide in Los Angeles at the age of 59. Ronnie, her younger son, died in December 2022.

Years after her retirement, her name continues to captivate audiences. The musical stage show “TINA: The Tina Turner Musical,” with Adrienne Warren initially acting and singing the star’s life story, was a hit in London’s West End in 2018, and is still running on Broadway. In 2021, HBO released a documentary about her life called “Tina.”
