Iconic pop superstar Tina Turner has passed away today, after battling a long term illness at her home, near Zurich in Switzerland. Her publicist has confirmed the sad news.

Tina was 83 years old, and known most for her iconic career that started in the 1960’s as a result of her high energy covers of “Proud Mary”, “Come Together” and “Want to Take you Higher” with her then husband, the problematic Ike Turner.

Tina would only become bigger after going solo, particularly in the 1980’s with her made for MTv hits, “What’s Love Got to Do with it”, “The Best”, “We Don’t Need another Hero” and “Private Dancer”.

Angela Bassett played Tina in the 1993 biopic, “What’s Love Got to Do with It”, and most recently was the subject of an HBO documentary on her life titled, “Tina”.
