Tina Turner has died at the age of 83 after her long battle against her ill health, which began in 2016.
According to reports, the Rock 'n' Roll Queen died peacefully in her Küsnacht home, which is near Zurich, Switzerland.
"Tina Turner, the 'Queen of Rock'n Roll' has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland. With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model," the statement read.
Her health began to decline following her intestinal cancer diagnosis in 2016, which led to various other related complications, like requiring a kidney transplant back in 2017.
Between then and now, Turner has lived out the rest of her life quietly in Europe, and by all means, it seems like she passed trying her hardest to forgive and forget, in order to live a good life.
