Tina turner Last interview before die goest viral on twitter | she knew it
May 24 (Reuters) - Tina Turner died on Wednesday at the age of 83. She was an American singer who left a hardscrabble farming town and an abusive relationship to become one of the best music artists of all time.

Her agent said that she died peacefully in her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, near Zurich, after a long illness.

Turner started her work in the 1950s, when rock and roll was just getting started. She later became a big deal on MTV.

In the video for her top-charting song "What's Love Got to Do with It," in which she called love a "second-hand emotion," Turner strutted through the streets of New York City with her spiky blonde hair, wearing a cropped jean jacket, a mini skirt, and stiletto heels.

Turner's taste for experimenting with music and writing straight-forward songs made her a perfect fit for the 1980s pop scene, in which people liked electronically produced sounds and looked down on hippie-era ideas.

Turner, who was sometimes called the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," won six of her eight Grammys in the 1980s. In the Top 40 in the 2000s, she had 12 songs, including "Typical Male," "The Best," "Private Dancer," and "Better Be Good to Me." In 1988, she did a show in Rio de Janeiro that was attended by 180,000 people. This is still one of the biggest crowds for a single act.

Turner had been divorced from musician Ike Turner for ten years by that time.

In the 1960s and 1970s, when she was married to her former husband and they worked together as a band, she was honest about the abuse she got from him. She talked about her bruised eyes, split lips, broken jaw, and other injuries that sent her to the emergency room over and over again.

Janet Jackson, a singer, wrote about Tina Turner in an issue of Rolling Stone that put Turner at No. 63 on a list of the top 100 artists of all time. She said, "Tina's story is not one of victimhood, but of incredible triumph."

Jackson said, "She's turned herself into an international star, an elegant powerhouse."

Turner changed her image as a survivor in 1985 by making up a story about it. In "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," the third movie in the Mad Max series, she played the ruthless boss of an outpost in a nuclear wasteland. She played this role opposite Mel Gibson.Most of Turner's hit songs were written by other people, but she brought them to life with her voice, which Jon Pareles of the New York Times called "one of the more unusual instruments in pop."

In a 1987 live review, Pareles said, "It has three levels: a nasal low register, a yowling, cutting middle register, and a high register that is so clear it sounds like a falsetto."
