Tina Turner, an iconic, enormously influential singer who bridged the gap between rock n' roll, R&B, soul, and even country, has died at the age of 83, her family confirmed.
“Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock & Roll’ has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland,” Turner's family said in a statement. “With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.”
