Forever in her heart. Tina Turner’s second son, Ronnie Turner, has died. He was 62.
“Ronnie, you left the world far too early. In sorrow I close my eyes and think of you, my beloved son,” the “Proud Mary” singer, 83, wrote via Instagram on Friday, December 9, sharing a photo of herself with her eyes closed.
Tina and Ike — who divorced in 1978 — shared four children together prior to the talent scout’s December 2007 death. The twosome — who each had children from previous relationships — welcomed Ronnie in 1960, nearly two years before their nuptials. The former Tina and Ike Revue musicians went on to adopt one another’s sons: Craig, Ike Jr. and Michael. (The “Nutbush City Limits” singer shared Craig with ex Raymond Hill while Ike and Lorraine Taylor coparented sons Ike Jr. and Michael after their split.)
As Tina mourned the death of Ronnie — who is also survived by wife Afida Turner — on Friday, she was supported by her famous friends. Naomi Campbell, Loni Love, Holly Robinson Peete and more stars shared their condolences via Instagram comments.
“I love you so much. I just want to give you the biggest hug. I’m so sorry. ❤️,” Adrienne Warren, who played Tina in her eponymous Broadway musical, replied on Friday.
The late actor’s wife also mourned Ronnie’s loss in her own Friday statement.
“MY GOD RONNIE TURNER, A TRUE ANGEL, HUGE SOUL, HIGHLY SPIRITUAL, MY HUSBAND, MY BEST FRIEND, MY BABY,” Afida wrote via Instagram, sharing throwback snaps of the couple, who wed in March 2007. “I DID THE BEST TO THE END THIS TIME I WAS NO ABLE TO SAVE YOU. … THIS IS A TRAGEDY U WITH YOUR BROTHER CRAIG AND YOUR FATHER IKE TURNER AND ALINE REST IN PARADISE
