Tina Turner: The Queen Of Rock ‘n’ Roll Ends An Era!

The legendary singer died at her home in Küsnach near Zurich, Switzerland, following a long, unspecified illness.

Her representatives announced the news, saying: ‘With her the world loses a music legend and role model’.

On April 9, in what are believed to be her final public remarks, she told The Guardian how she hoped the world would remember her – and how she did not fear death.

‘How would you like to be remembered?’ the Guardian asked.

‘As the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll. As a woman who showed other women that it is OK to strive for success on their own terms.’

Asked what frightens her about getting older, she replied: ‘Nothing. This is life’s full adventure and I embrace and accept every day with what it brings.’
