Tina Turner, known as "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," has died at 83 years old. NPR's Eric Deggans highlights the iconic performer's life and career.
Tina Turner, the exuberant, heel-stomping, wild-haired rock goddess who sold out stadiums, earned a dozen Grammy Awards and won the adoration of fans around the world in an electrifying music career spanning five decades, died Wednesday at her home near Zurich, according to a statement from her publicist.
She was 83.
"With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model," Turner's publicist, Bernard Doherty, said in a statement. He added that there will be a private funeral ceremony for close friends and family members.
The arc of Turner’s high-flying but tumultuous life was music industry legend — as well as the basis for a hit 1986 autobiography (“I, Tina”), a Hollywood biopic (“What’s Love Got to Do With It”) and a Broadway jukebox show (“Tina: The Tina Turner Musical”).
