American-born singer Tina Turner dies at 83
The American-born singer Tina Turner, who rose to fame after leaving an abusive marriage and a poor agricultural village, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 83.
Her agent stated that she passed away peacefully in her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, close to Zurich, following a protracted illness.
Turner started her career in the 1950s, at a time when rock and roll was just getting started, and she later became an MTV superstar.
In the video for her chart-topping song “What’s Love Got to Do with It,†in which she called love a “second-hand emotion,†Turner epitomized 1980s style as she strutted through New York City streets with her spiky blond hair, wearing a cropped jean jacket, mini skirt, and stiletto heels.
Turner fit in perfectly with the 1980s pop scene, which valued electronically created sounds and ridiculed hippie-era idealism. She had a love for musical experimentation and plainly phrased ballads.
