We all remember belting out along with the great Tina Turner as she sings ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’.
Her powerhouse vocals are stamped in everyone’s memories. The beloved songstress behind countless hits led an eventful life – but sadly passed away on Wednesday, aged 83, after ‘a long illness’.
Tina Turner was a much-beloved superstar known for her powerful vocals. In recent years, the mega-star slowed down due to health and personal reasons. But her husband, Erwin Bach’s support throughout has been unwavering.
But it wasn’t always like that. Tina Turner got her last name from her first husband, Ike Turner. Tina met Ike at a nightclub in Manhattan, and since their first meeting, the duo was practically inseparable.

The two first started making music together but soon their relationship became more personal. A few years after their initial meeting, Tina and Ike went to Tijuana, Mexico to exchange wedding vows in 1962.
