Tina Turner, the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” died at age 83 on Wednesday, May 25, at her home home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland.
She began her career in the 1950s as the lead singer of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, staged a successful comeback in the ’80s after leaving an abusive relationship with Ike Turner, and became one of the top recording artists of all time.
