1 min read
The “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Tina Turner, is reportedly being laid to rest at a private funeral ceremony, according to several European news outlets.
Reports indicate that Turner’s funeral will be a private service attended only by close family and friends in Switzerland. She requested to be cremated, according to her personal assistant. Turner died on May 24 from natural causes at age 83.
“She did not want a big public funeral. She wanted to be cremated and I expect it to be a small, very private affair. I am sure there will be some kind of memorial concert and tribute later,” said Turner’s personal assistant Eddy Hampton “Armani” in one report. “It will be for her very close friends in Switzerland, and her manager. It will not be a big family occasion.”
Turner, born in Tennessee, became a Swiss citizen in 2013.
