Prior to her 2003 marriage to long-term partner Erwin Bach, Tina Turner, whose death was announced earlier today, was married to fellow musician Ike Turner, with whom she had regularly performed and released music.
Following their divorce in 1978 Tina, who was born Anna Mae Bullock, was left penniless and it wasn't until 1981 that she opened up about the abuse she had faced at the hands of her former husband.
In 1981 Tina opened up about the abuse to People Magazine, and later revised it further in her 1986 biography I, Tina - which was later turned into the 1993 film What’s Love Got To Do With It, which starred Angela Basset as Tina.
