On May 24 this year, the whole world was shocked by unexpected news. Iconic singer Tina Turner has died at the age of 83. And although fans and celebrities still express their respect and condolences to the family of the performer, her death seems to have opened another deep wound in her family.
Tina has experienced the tragic loss of her two biological sons, Craig Turner and Ronnie Turner. Her two adopted sons, Ike Turner Jr. and Michael Turner are still alive. The singer left behind two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, whom she never had a chance to meet during her lifetime. Some family members are still in shock over her death. They claim they never heard how sick she was in recent years. Twanna Turner, daughter of Tina’s first husband, Ike Turner, said:
It’s time to heal… The family really wants and needs healing, they have been through a lot and continue to go through a lot.
Tina barely knew her son Ronnie’s children, Raquel and Randy. She never met her little grandchildren: Tyson and Tyreese. Craig and Ike Jr. never had children. And Michael has a daughter, Tiffany Turner-Dukes. She gave birth to three children: daughter Marley and sons Amari and Gianni from her husband.
Tina spent the last few decades of her life in Switzerland with second husband Erwin Bach in their $76 million mansion known as Villa Algonquin. Although the official statement does not give an exact cause of death, a spokesman for Tina Turner said that she had been ill for a long time before her death.
The singer has always been quite frank with her fans, so that she publicly announced several health problems. The star spoke about stroke, bowel cancer, high blood pressure and kidney failure. At the same time, the celebrity never denied that a stressful relationship with Ike Turner turned out to be very serious consequences for her health.
