After years of battling illnesses that could have killed her, Tina Turner now desires a life away from the spotlight.
Tina Turner is one of the best-selling music artists with a career spanning more than five decades. She was raised by her grandmother after her parents’ divorced when she was a young child. She was born Anna Mae Bullock. Tina moved in with her mother at the age of 19, and it was then that her talent was recognized.
“Before beginning a solo career, Tina first gained attention by performing with her then-husband Ike Turner.”
She remained at the top for a long time thanks to her exuberant stage presence and strong vocals. The songs “Private Dancer,” “What’s Love Got To Do,” “Proud Mary,” and many others by Tina continue to be top hits and a part of the culture across many generations.
She gave up singing a while ago, and from 2013 to 2018, she dealt with a number of health issues. But today she feels great and is grateful to be alive.
After having a stroke, Tina had trouble using her right hand. She briefly lost her ability to speak as well, but she recovered her strength. But just when she thought everything was going well, she received a kidney failure and intestinal cancer diagnosis. Few people were aware of the superstar’s difficulties until she wrote about them in her book Tina Turner: My Love Story, which was released two years ago.
“I started to consider dying. I could accept that if my kidneys failed and it was time for me to pass away. It went well. When the time comes, the time comes. Although I didn’t like the idea of passing away, I was worried about how I would go, she said in her book.
“She underwent a kidney transplant following the successful surgery in which a portion of her colon was removed. Her spouse, Erwin Bach, served as her donor.”
Tina Turner wrote, “I know that my medical adventure is far from over.” But I’m still here, and we’re closer than we could have ever imagined. Looking back, I can see why my karma was what it was. The bad resulted in good. Pain gave way to joy. And right now, I’m the happiest I have ever been.
After she overcame a number of health issues, her fans wished her well and were curious to hear how she was doing. She answered them with a video and said, “Yes, I made it, I look great. I feel great. It’s like getting a second chance at life because I’ve faced and am overcoming some very serious illnesses.
The singer recalled about her life and discussed how she suffers from PTSD as a result of the abuse she endured from her former husband Ike Turner in the recently released feature-length documentary simply titled “Tina.” Additionally, she stated that she wanted to begin the third and final chapter of her life away from the spotlight, which was interpreted as a farewell by fans.
To celebrate turning 80 years old, Tina has recorded a special birthday video message just for her fans.💜 #Tina80 pic.twitter.com/dUFEUawQ7r
