Tina Turner’s beloved son Ronnie died far too young at the age of 62 in December, devastating the globe. Despite her grief, she paid him a touching tribute on Instagram, writing, “My eyes may be closed in sadness, but my heart will always remember you.” Ronnie’s memory lives on via his family and followers.
On Friday, Afida Turner paid a moving homage to her loving husband, Ronnie. She explained through tears that no matter how hard she tried, life wasn’t on their side this time, and the love of her life had been taken from her far too soon, reunited in paradise with his brother Craig and father Ike. He was a true angel, she said, who was more than just a companion – he was her dearest friend.
Ronnie Turner died of colon cancer, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner Coroner’s office. Complications from a metastatic disease that had spread throughout his body caused his death.
Many people are terrified of metastatic cancer, commonly known as stage 4 cancer. It happens when malignant cells spread to different sections of the body from their original site. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is also a cause for concern: it is a condition that hardens arteries, potentially reducing blood flow or creating hazardous clots in ways that we have all seen in our nightmares.
Tina Turner’s son was Ronnie Turner. At a young age, he appeared in his mother’s 1993 biography “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” alongside Angela Bassett as Tina and Laurence Fishburne as Ike.
Craig Turner, the firstborn son of Tina Turner, then 18, and musician Raymond Hill, was found dead in 2018 at the age of 59. Craig’s mother married Ike Turner shortly after his birth, and he became a member of the family; however, tragedy struck again, and Craig died abruptly and unexpectedly.
Tina shared a touching tribute on social media about saying goodbye to her beloved son Craig, who died unexpectedly at the age of 59. Tina met with family and friends to scatter his ashes off the California coast in a devastating farewell – a moment indelibly seared in Tina’s heart as an everlasting keepsake of her “baby.”
Tina Turner’s rocky marriage to Ike Turner ended in 1978, after 16 years together. She married German music producer Erwin Bach nine years after his drug-related death, with whom she shared 30 lovely years before marrying in 2013. Tina also adopted her late husband’s two sons and has been in touch with them for decades; they are now 64 and 63, respectively.
