Full story below…
The ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ singer’s niece, Jacqueline Bullock, confirmed the news to TMZ.
It was shared that Ike Jr. died in a Los Angeles hospital yesterday (October 4) as a result of kidney failure.
He had endured strenuous heart issues for a prolonged period, and his health is said to have been on a steep decline in more recent times. So much so that he suffered a stroke last month.
Ike Jr. was the biological son of Ike Turner and Lorraine Taylor; he was adopted by Tina upon her marriage to Ike Sr.
Despite the rockers’ infamous split, Ike Jr. would go on to briefly work with Tina as her sound engineer.
Tina had four children: two biologically (Craig and Ronnie Turner) and two she adopted during her relationship with Ike (Ike Jr. and Michael).
Craig died of suicide in 2018, while Ronnie died in 2022 after a battle with Colon cancer.
Tina herself passed away on May 24, 2023.
