The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll Tina Turner battled multiple health conditions prior to her death.

Turner died at her home in Switzerland at the age of 83 on Wednesday (24 May) after a long illness.

Her publicist, Bernard Doherty, said Turner died 'peacefully' after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland.

Throughout a 60-year career, the singer won eight Grammy Awards and has a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the St Louis Walk of Fame.

“With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model,” a statement from Mr Doherty read.

“With her music and her inexhaustible vitality, Tina Turner thrilled millions of fans and inspired many artists of subsequent generations.”

The statement added that a private funeral ceremony, attended by close friends and family, would be held and that further press inquiries would not be answered.

A statement posted on Turner’s official Instagram read: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner.

“With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow.

“Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly.”

Turner wed music executive, Erwin Bach, in a Swiss civil ceremony in 2013 and has lived in Switzerland with him since 1994.

She had suffered ill health in recent years, being diagnosed with intestinal cancer in 2016, then having a kidney transplant in 2017.

In 2018 she revealed in her autobiography, Tina Turner: My Love Story, that Bach saved her life by donating one of his kidneys.

Roger Davies, the singer’s manager of 30 years, also paid tribute to the star, adding: “Tina was a unique and remarkable force of nature with her strength, incredible energy and immense talent.

“From the first day I met her in 1980, she believed in herself completely when few others did at that time.

“It was a privilege and an honour to have been a close friend as well as her manager for more than 30 years. I will miss her deeply.”

In an interview earlier this year, when asked how she would like to be remembered, Turner said: “As the Queen of Rock’n’roll.

“As a woman who showed other women that it is OK to strive for success on their own terms.”
