After battling 4 decades of high blood pressure, intestinal cancer, and undergoing a kidney transplant, Tina Turner passed away from natural causes at the age of 83. And even though the legendary singer is not among us anymore, she’ll forever live through the legacy she left behind — her music.

Tina’s husband, Erwin Bach, has plans to convert their picturesque £58 million “weekend retreat” property in Stäfa, Switzerland, into a captivating museum that will honor and celebrate the life of the legendary music icon.

This property is a mere half an hour from their lavish mansion on the serene banks of Lake Zurich, where the couple lived together for the past decade.

The city Tina once called home is also planning to honor her by installing a beautiful statue of her.

Brownsville, the town where Tina Turner spent much of her formative years, is considering the installation of a statue in her honor at Heritage Park, near the high school Tina attended.

Even though the star left the town at 16 when her grandmother passed away, it remained an integral part of Tina’s history and is already home to the Tina Turner Museum.

The town’s Mayor revealed why he wants the statue to be placed in the town she grew up in.

“When Tina stepped on stage, she owned it. We want this statue to represent that passion. Tina was an inspiration to the entire world... she showed the people of Brownsville that, no matter where you start, you own your story about where you end up,” he explained.

Tina Turner achieved great success in her career and found happiness in her love life. Despite her first marriage ending in divorce, she enjoyed a joyful life with her second husband, who even gave her one of his kidneys so that she could live longer.
