“With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model,” Doherty said in a statement.

Born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939, in Nutbush, Tennessee, Turner became famous in the late 1960s as the singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. After leaving her husband Ike Turner following years of physical and emotional abuse, she staged what remains one of the greatest comebacks in pop music history, scoring massive hits in the 1980s such as “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” “Private Dancer,” and “The Best,” with more than 180 million albums sold, 12 Grammy Awards won and sold-out stadium tours around the world.
A private funeral ceremony is expected for family and close friends and family.
