Tina Turner dies at the age of 83 as tributes pour in to music legend.
The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll died after a long illness at her home near Zurich in Switzerland.
A statement confirms she died "peacefully" at home and adds: "With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model."
A private funeral ceremony will be held for close friends and family.
Tina was born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26 in 1939 in Nutbush, Tennessee, USA.
She found fame in the late 1960s as the singer of the band Ike & Turner Revue but later went on to find fame as a solo artist.
Her biggest hits include 'What's Love Got To Do With It', 'Private Dancer' and 'The Best'.
