Tina Turner – The Final Chapter of a Rock Legend That Moved the World
On May 24, 2023, the world lost one of its most powerful voices: Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, passed away peacefully at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, at the age of 83.
Though she was known for her fierce stage presence and unmatched resilience, Tina had spent her final years in a quiet battle against chronic kidney failure, long-term hypertension, and complications following a life-saving kidney transplant in 2017—a gift from her husband, Erwin Bach.
In her last months, she withdrew from public life, choosing solitude, reflection, and peace over pain. Surrounded by nature and close companions, she spent her days writing, listening to classical music, and meditating.
According to family members, Tina faced the end as she lived: with grace, courage, and clarity. She embraced peace, not fear. “She left us with no anger, only love,” a family statement read.
The news of her passing triggered a global wave of mourning. Fans paid tribute by streaming “What’s Love Got To Do With It” in massive numbers, while icons like Beyoncé, Mick Jagger, and Cher honored her lasting influence on music, feminism, and cultural identity.
Tina Turner may have left the stage, but her presence is eternal—etched into every rhythm, every stage light, and every woman who dares to rise.
