Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock n Roll, was an American-born singer who achieved success in rhythm-and-blues, soul and rock genres across five decades.
Born as Anna Mae Bullock, she started her career singing in local rhythm-and-blues scenes.
Turner’s early fame came from her dynamic performances with her then-husband, Ike Turner, with their Ike and Tina Turner Revue.
However, after allegations of abuse and infidelity, she divorced Ike in 1978 and launched a highly successful solo career.
Her 1984 debut solo album, ‘Private Dancer’, sold over 20 million copies globally and won three Grammy Awards.

The singer also acted in films and authored autobiographies and a self-help book.
She became a Swiss citizen in 2013, relinquishing her U.S. citizenship. Her life inspired a musical and documentary.
Turner was inducted into the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’ twice as part of a duo and as a solo performer.
