Tina Turner has died at the age of 83 at her home in Switzerland, according to Sky News.
She died after a long illness, the Telegraph reported.
She was diagnosed with intestinal cancer in 2016 and had a kidney transplant in 2017, the publication reported.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner,” read the statement on the official Instagram page of the eight-time Grammy winner, who encountered fame first with husband Ike Turner, then as a wildly successful solo act after escaping the violent marriage.
Her career began in the 1950s and she went on to become one of the top recording artists of all time.
The eight-time Grammy winner enjoyed huge success in the late 1960s and early 1970s performing with her former husband, Ike Turner, but the couple divorced in 1978 after a stormy marriage.
