Tina Turner has died at the age of 83.

The music icon passed away peacefully at her home in Switzerland on Wednesday (24.05.23) after battling “a long illness”.

Her spokesperson said in a statement: “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.

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

Turner – whose hit songs included ‘Proud Mary’ and ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ – battled a number of health problems in recent years, including cancer, kidney failure and a stroke.

The singer – who had a distinctive, husky voice – ultimately became one of the biggest stars of the 80s and 90s.
