Biography of Tina Turner

Tina Turner is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, star-owner on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and simply Queen of Rock and Roll. Biography of Tina Turner is rich in ups and downs - loss of parents, popularity and its decline, wandering with a handful of coins in your pocket and continuous work every day. This cheerful artist has built a new life in 37 years.

Tina Turner in her youth

Anna May Bullock (real name) was born in 1939 in the American town of Natbush. At the age of 10 she and her sister were abandoned by their own mother, and three years later her father also left. The girl was very hard to endure the betrayal of her parents, but she learned the first lesson - she can not help crying with tears. Perhaps this is what helped in later life.

Anna loved to sing from childhood. At the age of 17, she met her future husband - musician Hayk Turner and began to perform with him in the band Kings of Rhythm. In 1958, they began a relationship, and in 1962, Tina Turner and her boyfriend were married. So Anna became Tina Turner. In this marriage, the second son of Tina was born - Ronald (the first was born as a result of the novel with the saxophonist of the group). In addition to her two children, Tina Turner also raised two sons of Ike. Their Ike & Tina Turner Revue group was wildly popular, but because of Ike's addiction to drugs, musicians in the band did not linger, public interest declined, and Tina suffered from her husband's beatings and humiliation. In the end, she fled from him in the middle of the tour.

In a solitary voyage, Tina Turner was not sweet, as in her youth, but hard work paid off - in the 80s she gained worldwide fame, and fame came to her in Europe, and not in her native America. Twice she got into the Guinness Book of Records: for the first time - for a paid concert in front of the largest audience, the second - for the largest number of tickets sold among solo artists in the history of music. It's hard to believe that in this miniature woman (the growth of Tina Turner only 163 cm) can be so much strength and courage.

Tina Turner and her boyfriend Erwin Bach

In 1985, Tina began to meet with German producer Erwin Bach. Their romance lasted for 27 long years, until Tina finally decided to respond to the offer of the hand and heart of her beloved. In 2013 they played a luxurious wedding in Switzerland.
