Tina Turner's Family and Legacy: Abuse, Pain, and Resilience.

Tina Turner's daughter-in-law, Afida Turner, revealed in an interview that the late singer was worried her son Ronnie would follow in his father Ike Turner's abusive footsteps. Afida, who was married to Ronnie until his death in 2022, admitted that in the beginning, Ronnie did display troubling behavior. Tina had previously documented her abusive marriage to Ike in her memoir, "I, Tina." Ronnie died of complications from colon cancer months before his mother's passing. Tina also had another son named Craig from a previous relationship with musician Raymond Hill, who died by suicide in 2018.

Rock & Roll Legend Tina Turner Dies at 83.

Tina Turner, the pioneering rock’n’roll star who became a pop behemoth in the 1980s, has died aged 83 after a long illness. Turner affirmed and amplified Black women’s formative stake in rock’n’roll, defining that era of music to the extent that Mick Jagger admitted to taking inspiration from her high-kicking, energetic live performances for his stage persona. After two decades of working with her abusive husband, Ike Turner, she struck out alone and – after a few false starts – became one of the defining pop icons of the 1980s with the album Private Dancer.
