Tina Turner - one of rock's great vocalists and most charismatic performers - has died aged 83, her spokesperson has confirmed.
In a statement, they said: "Tina Turner, the 'Queen of Rock'n Roll' has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland.
"With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model."
The US-born star was one of the best-loved female rock singers, known for her on-stage presence and a string of hits including The Best, Proud Mary, Private Dancer and What's Love Got to Do With It.
She first found fame alongside ex-husband Ike Turner, with the classic song River Deep, Mountain High among their repertoire.
The domestic abuse Ike subjected his wife to was documented in a 1993 Hollywood biopic starring Angela Bassett, which won three Oscars.
Her life story was also immortalised in a popular West End show that is still running.

John Hollins: Former Chelsea player and boss dies aged 76.
Former Chelsea player and manager John Hollins has died aged 76, the club has announced.
Hollins made almost 600 appearances as a player for the club, scoring 64 times during his two spells at Stamford Bridge between 1963 and 1984.
He was appointed as manager in 1985, a position he held for three years.
"He was a hero to the fans of this club, and very much that to me," Chelsea board member Daniel Finkelstein said.
"He was at the heart of one of Chelsea's greatest teams and, as well as contributing to its trophy success, he expressed its spirit.
"He lifted up the team with his play and lit up the Bridge with his smile. He gave a life of service to this club, as a player, as a manager and as a matchday ambassador. He was greatly loved and will be much missed."
