Her death was confirmed in her official Facebook page.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner,” the statement said on Facebook.
“With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow.
“Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly.”
Some of her strings of platinum hits include, ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It’, ‘The Best’, and ‘We Don’t Need Another Hero’.
Rolling Stone once named her “one of the greatest singers of all time.”
Often described as the queen of rock and roll, Turner was born as Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939, in Tennessee. She began performing at a young age and as a teenager, she immersed herself in the local rhythm and blues scene.
She met Ike Turner in 1956 from the band, Kings of Rhythm, and became part of their act under the stage name, Tina Turner.
