Tina Turner had retired from the world of music in 2009, at the age of 70, with a prolific career translated into more than 200 million records sold, 22 albums, of which 12 are studio recordings, 3 live and 7 compilations.
Since then, the interpreter has focused on her personal life, marrying in Switzerland -where she ended up being nationalized- in 2013, at the age of 73, with the German music producer Erwin Bach, 57, after 27 years of relationship.
Tina Turner suffered from health problems in the last decade, including colon cancer in 2016, and underwent a kidney transplant just a year later. She passed away this Wednesday at the age of 83 at her home in Kusnacht, Switzerland.
