Music icon Tina Turner, the Queen of rock ‘n’ roll, dies at age 83

Tina Turner, the American-born singer who left a hardscrabble farming community and abusive relationship to become one of the top recording artists of all time, died on Wednesday at the age of 83.


She died peacefully after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, her representative said.


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

Recently we watched her doco. She was very humble in telling her story. Very talented and got to the top the hard way after abusive husband.
Great tunes.
RIP Tina

Very sad. Like Rocky says. "The older I get the more I lose... that's life" The older we get we seem to lose everything that is familiar to our generation... tough pill to swallow as it reflects on our own mortality.
