Through the rollercoaster years when Tina Turner broke free from her abusive marriage and went solo to conquer the world, she could always rely on her personal assistant Eddy Hampton Armani.
For over 20 years he travelled the world with her as her right-hand man, looking after her wardrobe and ensuring her life ran smoothly.
He was there when she left Ike Turner, and he was there when she first met her second husband Erwin Bach, who was with her when she died aged 83 at home in Switzerland this week after a long illness.
