Tina Turner

On May 24th, 2023, the world lost legendary singer and powerful female icon Tina Turner. She peacefully passed away after an illness at her home in Switzerland, aged 83. Born Anna Mae Bullock, she began her singing career in 1958, and she shot to fame in the 1960s as half of the popular band Ike and Tina Turner.
She had to overcome a terribly toxic relationship with her husband. Then, she proved she was “Simply the Best”, performing for over seven decades as the undisputed Queen of Rock ‘n Roll.
