In a revelation that has stunned fans around the world, Erwin Bach, the longtime husband of music icon Tina Turner, has confirmed the existence of a deeply personal handwritten letter that Tina left behind — addressed to a close friend, but never opened.
According to a statement from Bach, the letter was discovered among Tina’s personal belongings in their Swiss home, sealed in an unmarked envelope with a note that read:
“For your eyes only, when the time is right.”
The intended recipient has not been publicly named, and for reasons still unclear, the letter was never delivered. Locked away for years in a private chest, the letter’s presence remained a mystery until now.
And in an unexpected twist, the note is now being auctioned off to the highest bidder, with an estimated value in the tens of thousands. While many fans are outraged that such an intimate piece of Turner’s legacy is being sold, others are captivated — hoping to catch one final glimpse into her heart and mind.
Speculation is swirling online. Was the letter a confession? A goodbye? Or perhaps a long-held secret Tina Turner never had the courage to say out loud? Some believe it may reveal more about her early struggles, a lost love, or even a final reflection on her tumultuous journey from pain to triumph.
Auctioneers have confirmed that they will not open or read the letter publicly, preserving its mystery — at least until it changes hands.
Erwin Bach, appearing emotional but composed, shared:
“She wrote it during a very personal chapter in her life. I never read it. I believe it was meant for someone specific — but fate had other plans.”
As fans and collectors alike wait anxiously for the auction to conclude, one thing is certain: Tina Turner’s story continues to unfold, even after her passing.
And the truth hidden within that envelope is currently being… watched, bid on, and fiercely protected.
