Two days ago, on Wednesday, May 24, the family of Tina Turner made public that the singer had died at the age of 83 at her residence in Zurich, Switzerland, after a long time battling an illness. Since then, his fans around the world mourn the loss of this music icon, for many the queen of rock and roll.
Free, crazy, daring, strong... there are so many adjectives that could define Tina Turner that a closed list of words would never do her justice. The singer originally from Tennessee, United States, forever changed the music industry, as well as set the pace for five different decades.
The artist with wild hair and raw, immortal voice conquered her colleagues, music producers and fans. Tina Turner filled stadiums where millions of people crowded to see one of her electric shows full of energy, sensuality and vocal quality.

Retirement for health reasons
Born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939 in Nutbush, a small town in the United States, the rock superstar has left an indelible legacy in the history of music that makes her a legend.
The artist retired from music when she turned 70 in 2009 and shortly after, in 2013, renounced her US citizenship and went to live in Switzerland, where she lived until she finally died on May 24.

Although her departure leaves on our planet a lot of orphaned fans of which she was her great reference, the artist has also left a great fortune that she won in her more than 54 years on stage.
Due to the long illness she faced, Tina Turner left everything tied before she died and resolved the whole issue of her patrimonial affairs so that her relatives did not fight later, according to several American media.
The American artist suffered in recent years two strokes, an intestinal cancer and a kidney transplant, so she knew that the end could come at any time. Something he also accepted thanks to Buddhism, the discipline he began to practice many years ago.
The singer is estimated to be worth around 250 million dollars, although some media and sources think it is a much higher amount. It should be noted that the artist recently sold her entire music catalog to the BMG label for 50 million dollars, which would have considerably increased the figure.
Inheritance
Although the will has not yet been read officially, everything indicates that the beneficiaries of such a document will be her direct relatives: her husband and the two children she adopted from her ex, Ike Turner, with whom she lived a history of violence and submission from which she could take off to become a planetary star.
It should be noted that the singer had two biological sons, Craig and Ronnie, who passed away in 2018 and 2022 respectively. The first committed suicide and the second died from colon cancer, tragedies that caused great emotional distress in the singer.
