Tina Turner, one of the best-known voices of rock music with hits such as "Proud Mary" and "The Best" has been suffering from health problems for a long time, as her press spokesman told the PA news agency. As early as 2017, Tina Turner had to undergo a kidney transplant. This became necessary because the singer suffered from high blood pressure for decades, which severely damaged her organs. After all, it was her husband Erwin Bach who gave her one of his kidneys.

She won 12 Grammy Awards
