The “Queen of Rock & Roll” and star of Mad Max Under Thunderdome has died at the age of 83.
The legendary icon has died at the age of 83, and Deadline reports that it happened at a home in Küsnacht, near Zurich, Switzerland. The star has been fighting the disease for a long time. Once upon a time, Turner was dubbed the “Queen of Rock & Roll” and has also made a career in Hollywood, starring in films such as Mad Max Below Thunderdome and Last Action Hero. Tina Turner spokesman Bernard Doherty said:
With her passing, the world has lost a musical legend and role model.
The star’s life story was used in the 1993 film Tina , starring Angela Bassett as Tina and Laurence Fishburne as Ike Turner. In 2021, the Broadway musical Tina – The Tina Turner Musical premiered . She began her musical career with Kings of Rhythm and the Ike & Tina Turner Revue , but was destined to pursue a solo career.
She made her debut with the album Private Dancer in 1984, which featured the song What’s Love Got To Do With It for which she won her first Grammy. It won the Grammy for Record of the Year accolade and the song went to No. 1 on the Billboard 100. Achieving this at the age of 44 was also quite a feat.
Tina Turner has forever entered the music industry, the hearts of her fans and it is an irreparable loss.
