According to multiple sources, the singer has been candid about some of her health issues over the past few years, including overcoming cancer in 2016 and a kidney transplant a year later in 2017.
On November 26, 1939, Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock; she went by her stage name. Growing up in Nutbush, Tennessee, she started singing in the local church choir and was straight about her job picking cotton.
Turner left just five months after Ronnie, her adored son, sadly passed away in 2022.
New information has been released about what led to Ronnie Turner’s death. Turner, the adored son of iconic singer Tina Turner, died unexpectedly earlier this month, as previously reported by Mamas Uncut.
The cause of his death has now been released. Ronnie died of complications from metastatic colon cancer, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner. He also had atherosclerosis, a heart condition marked by hardening or thickening of the arteries.

It looks like Ronnie may have died while he was still away from his California home. His autopsy revealed that the cause of death was listed as “sidewalk,” according to People.
Colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the country, according to the CDC. Actress Kirstie Alley also passed away after battling colon cancer, Mamas Uncut revealed just days after Ronnie’s death.
After the tragic news was released on December 9, the world is mourning the death of famous singer Tina Turner.
