This is a developing story that will be updated with additional information as it becomes available.

Turner, who was born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tenn., has been an entertainer for nearly 60 years.  The Grammy-winning rock artist rose to mainstream prominence in the ’60s as part of the duo Ike & Tina Turner. Ike and Tina married in 1962 and performed together.  The duo’s turbulent and abusive relationship was documented in the memorable 1993 semi-autobiographical film, “What’s Love Got to Do With It.”

After the couple divorced in 1978, Turner reinvented herself and went on to reach career highs like never before. Dubbed the “Queen of Rock and Roll,” Turner has won eight Grammys and has sold more concert tickets than any other solo performer in history.

After making a life for herself in Switzerland for the past few decades, she applied for Swiss citizenship. It was granted in 2013, thereby renouncing her American one.
