American-born singer and actress Tina Turner was raised in Switzerland. She became well-known as the lead singer of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue before beginning a lucrative solo career, earning her the title "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll."

In 1957, Turner made her professional debut with Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm. She made her debut with her first album, "Boxtop," in 1958.

She made her debut as Tina Turner in 1960 with the popular duet "A Fool in Love."

What Happened To Tina Turner?

In 2013, Tina experienced a stroke. She received a diagnosis of colon cancer and kidney failure in 2016. She considered assisted suicide for a while; it is permitted in her chosen nation of Switzerland.

Tina's life was eventually saved when her second husband, Erwin Bach, agreed to donate one of his kidneys.

She received more terrible news just when things appeared to be improving. The singer discovered that her son Craig had committed suicide in July 2018, just a few months before the publication of her autobiography Tina Turner: My Love Story.

She explores the legendary singer's life and career, including some less savory aspects that some fans might not be aware of. In the trailer, Tina reveals, "She had an abusive life."

There is no other way to explain the situation. The documentary includes interviews with Angela Bassett, Oprah Winfrey, Erwin Bach, and many more, in addition to archived videos spanning more than 60 years.

Tina Turner stepped out of retirement in the summer of 2020 to work with Norwegian producer Kygo on a remix of "What's Love Got to Do With It?" The song's music video starred Charles Michael Davis and Laura Harrier as star-crossed lovers and were released on July 17, 2020.

The video has received over 38 million YouTube views as of July 2022. With its release, Tina made history by being the first British artist to have a top 40 hit seven times in a row.

Her third book, Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good, was published in the same year. Taro Gold and Swiss vocalist Regula Curti collaborated on its writing, and it was ultimately named the best nonfiction book of 2020 on Amazon.

In 2021, she also made an appearance in the documentary Tina. T.J. Martin and Dan Lindsay directed it, tracked her life and career, and had cameos from several celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Katori Hall, Angela Bassett, Jimmy Thomas, and Terry Britten.

The film, made in honor of her son Craig Turner, had its global premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in early 2021 and was subsequently released on March 27 in the United States.

Where Is Tina Turner Now?

On November 26, 1939, Tina Turner was born in Brownsville, Tennessee. As of right now, she is 82 years old. After being together for more than 25 years, she married German music executive Erwin Bach in 2013, and the two currently reside in Switzerland.

At barely 18, Tina gave birth to her first child, Raymond Craig, in 1958. His father was Kings of Rhythm saxophonist Raymond Hill. Following the birth of the child, Tina and Raymond's relationship grew tense, eventually leading to a quarrel between them.

Ike and other band members stepped in to protect Tina, and the subsequent altercation left Raymond with a fractured leg. Raymond left the band and went back to his home in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
