TINA TURNER – 82 YEARS OLD

Some musicians burn out, others fade away, and few artists maintain the same talent and vitality for generations. Fortunately, Tina Turner falls into this last category, having worked as a top musician for more than 60 years. She is one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, known as the “Queen of Rock”, and has sold more than 200 million records worldwide. In 2013, three weeks after marrying Erwin Bach, she suffered a stroke and had to learn to walk again.

In 2016, she was diagnosed with bowel cancer. She is known for her  “swagger, sensuality, gravelly vocals and unstoppable energy”, and her long career life and legs are highly praised. Journalist Kurt Loder has asserted that Turner’s voice combines the emotional power of a great blues singer with the sheer ability of stripping wallpaper, which seems indispensable in the age of amplification.
