"Tina Turner - one of rock's great vocalists and most charismatic performers - has died aged 83, her spokesperson has confirmed.

In a statement, they said: "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 US-born star was one of the best-loved female rock singers, known for her on-stage presence and a string of hits including The Best, Proud Mary, Private Dancer and What's Love Got to Do With It.

She first found fame in the 1960s alongside ex-husband Ike Turner, with the classic song River Deep, Mountain High among their repertoire.

The domestic abuse Ike subjected his wife to was documented in a 1993 Hollywood biopic starring Angela Bassett, which won three Oscars.

Her life story was also immortalised in a popular West End show that is still running."

She endured PTSS due domestic abuse, colon cancer, kidney failure (her husband gave a kidney) and losing 2 of her sons.

Personally i think one of the greatest bond songs.
Oh and with my hero, David Bowie, such chemistry.

Always sad to see legendary artists passing away. She was also pretty good in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, which is a movie with one good half and she happens to be in it (and mostly not in the other, not good half).

Indeed we lost a legend, that is a sad day...
For me personally her greates song was We Don't Need Another Hero and that's what I think I'll remeber her most by...
And to think I was just listening to Ghost's amazing cover earlier today...
