Tina Turner – one of rock’s greatest vocalists and most charismatic performers – has died at the age of 83.
In a statement, her spokesperson said: “Tina Turner, ‘The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll’, died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness at her home in Kusnacht , near Zurich, Switzerland.
“With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.”

Turner had suffered from poor health in recent years, being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016 and undergoing a kidney transplant in 2017.
The American-born star was one of rock’s great singers, known for her electric stage presence and a string of hits including The Best, Proud Mary, Private Dancer and What’s Love Got to Do With It.
Among the first to pay tribute were Bryan Adams, the White House and Simply Red.
She rose to fame in the 1960s with ex-husband Ike Turner, featuring the River Deep classic Mountain High in their repertoire.

A death of Tina Turner
The singer’s popularity as a solo artist declined in the 1970s, but her career was revived when she signed with Capitol Records in the 1980s.
A successful cover of Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together led to the Private Dancer album in 1984, which sold more than 10 million copies and established her as a mega-star, writes Sky.
The album’s title track Private Dancer, as well as What’s Love Got to Do With It and I Can’t Stand the Rain were among the seven singles on this record.

Her best-known song is probably The Best – with its distinctive intro, steady build and powerful chorus.
Released in 1989, part of the album Foreign Affair, it is actually a cover of a song by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler.
Proud Mary is also an established classic, with Turner performing up-tempo dance moves on its “rolling down the river” chorus well into her 70s in live performances.
