Anna Mae Bullock, popularly known by her stage name Tina Turner, was a singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, and author. She was one of the most popular female rock artists, and is known as the queen of the rock. Turner received many Grammy Awards in various categories, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy Hall of Fame. Over 100 million copies of her albums were sold worldwide, which is why she was named as one of the greatest singers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. But all this success and fame did not come easy for her. She had to start from scratch as she had no formal training in singing. Above all, she faced a very difficult childhood. She met Ike Turner, whom she would later marry, when she was 16 years old. Ike helped her in getting recognized in the music industry and for many years, she only sang duets with him. She had a difficult relationship with Ike as he was an alcoholic and cocaine addict. He used to beat her and emotionally abuse her. She went through a major downfall in her personal and professional life after getting divorced from him, but thankfully she turned to Buddhism, which helped her concentrate better on her career. Private Dancer, considered to be her comeback album, sold 20 million copies, and earned her prestigious awards. Later on, she took up Swiss citizenship and settled in Switzerland.
