A grief-stricken Tina Turner has broken her silence on the death of her son, Craig.

As reported, the 59-year-old made headlines the world over when he committed suicide earlier this month.

In 1998, Madonna- then a new mother- poured her mind, body and soul into ‘Ray of Light’, the poignant Pop album many agree is her magnum opus.

Filled with moving stories delivered on Trip-Hop, Electronic and Ambient beats, the set saw the singer document her feelings towards fame’s fleeting and soulless nature (Drowned World)  her longing for real love (Frozen) and the loss of her mother(Mer Girl).

With all of this mind, fans may not know whether to react with rage or glee once they discover that a number of the album’s demos have surfaced online.
