Tina Turner

'Queen of rock 'n' roll' Tina Turner dies at 83

Turner had suffered a number of health issues in recent years including cancer, a stroke and kidney failure.

BBC reports she rose to fame alongside husband Ike in the 1960s with songs including 'Proud Mary' and 'River Deep, Mountain High'.

She divorced the abusive Ike in 1978, and went on to find even greater success as a solo artist in the 1980s.

Dubbed the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, Tina Turner was famed for her raunchy and energetic stage performances and husky, powerful vocals.
