Tina Turner does not seem to miss the stage. She was tired of singing, she has now told. The 79-year-old expressed in the interview also to her violent first husband.



There are supposed to be musicians who go on farewell tour, only to be able to celebrate a comeback later. Tina Turner does not want to line up with Ozzy Osbourne, a-ha or the Scorpions. The singer is still retiring, according to a New York Times article, ten years after her last concert.

All her life she has done everything for others: "I was just tired of singing and making everyone happy." This is obviously different: "I do not sing, I do not dance, I'm not smart," said the 79-year-old. A statement that the newspaper according to the photo shoot for the article was not quite fair: "When the camera appeared, she turned on," it says.

However, Turner has not retreated completely from the public: a musical about the singer can be seen in London and Hamburg, soon it will be shown on the Broadway. Although Turner does not appear on the production floor himself, she certainly advertises - as for example in the Mojo Club on the Reeperbahn last year.

The story Turners, which is also shown in parts in the musical is not a simple: "I had a terrible life," she told the "New York Times". She just kept on going, hoping something would happen.

Tina Turner: Satisfied retirement

Ike Turner, the singer's now-dead first husband, abused her. After 14 years of relationship, she left him in 1976. "I do not know if Ike can ever forgive everything he did to me," she said in the interview. "But he's dead. So we do not have to worry about him anymore."

Turner is married for the second time to the German music manager Erwin Bach. The couple has been living in Switzerland since 1994. Bach donated a kidney to his wife in 2017: "I would do it again," he said about the procedure. Turners - probably not quite serious - Answer: "Well, maybe I need one on the other side."
