From Switzerland to Missouri, Tina Turner's fans are flocking to special places associated with the rock legend to pay their respects.
Fans in Missouri gathered at Turner’s star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame, according to KTVI, in the city where Turner attended high school and got her start in the music industry. On Wednesday, fans surrounded the Delmar Loop star, laying flowers and paying their respects. One man, John from nearby Claremont, told KTVI he was visiting St. Louis when he learned of Turner’s death. So, he headed straight for the monument to the singer.

'What's love got to do with it?' Inside Tina Turner's love story with husband Erwin Bach
The late Tina Turner lived a life beyond expectations. Throughout her life, she overcame obstacles like poverty, domestic violence and health issues to carve a unique and storied legacy, one that included finding love again in her later years. Turner, who was born Anna Mae Bullock, died Wednesday at the age of 83. The iconic singer, who was inducted as a solo artist into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, was married twice.
At the time of her death this week, the singer was married to Erwin Bach, a German music executive and her longtime partner since 1983. The couple lived in a lakehouse, named Chateau Algonquin, in Switzerland, the country Turner had called home since the 1990s. Although she was a native of Nutbush, Tennessee, about 60 miles north of Memphis, Turner would renounce her American citizenship in 2013 to obtain Swiss citizenship.
Previously, Turner was married to Ike Turner, a bandleader, singer and producer, whom she initially rose to fame with as the musical duo behind The Ike and Tina Turner Revue. They were married in 1962 until their divorce in 1978. It was a rocky relationship for Turner, who alleged abuse and domestic violence at the hands of her ex-husband.
