Tina Turner 81 Bids Farewell to Her Fans, Battles PTSD_Ada Nkong

Tina Turner says a final goodbye to her loyal fans as she opens up regarding overcoming her hearts.

In a new full-length documentary about the acclaimed singer titled TINA, Tina Turner reflects on a youth filled with pain and the global fame she enjoyed as an elder, middle-aged woman during the second phase of her life.
Now 81 and plagued by ill health, including a stroke and cancer, the soul and rock music legend also suffered kidney failure which led to a transplant in 2017.

In the film she tells how she wants to enter the third and final chapter of her life out of the spotlight, and it is revealed that she has a form of post-traumatic stress disorder from the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of her first husband and music partner, Ike Turner.

Looking back, Tina reflects: “It wasn’t a good life. The good did not balance the bad.

“I had an abusive life, there’s no other way to tell the story. It’s a reality. It’s a truth. That’s what you’ve got, so you have to accept it.

The details of Tina’s life have been chronicled before, first in her 1986 autobiography, I, Tina, and in the 1993 biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It? with Angela Bassett as Tina.

But Tina has always been loath to discuss them on camera until now. This documentary will have been painful to make, but is a parting gift to her global army of fans.

She is bringing down the curtain on a career which saw her sell more than 100million records, and at her peak in the Eighties sell out arenas around the globe.

Tina was born Anna Mae Bullock, and her childhood was filled with poverty and misery, picking cotton in the fields around Nutbush, Tennessee.
