Tina Turner died from natural causes at her home in Switzerland, it's been confirmed.
The legendary singer passed away at the age of 83 in Küsnach near Zurich following a long, unspecified illness. She had previously battled intestinal cancer and suffered with high blood pressure for over four decades.
Her representatives confirmed to DailyMail.com that the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll died of natural causes. They announced the the sad news of her death on May 24, saying: 'With her the world loses a music legend and role model.'
