Overview

  • Tina Turner's niece Jacqueline Bullock confirmed to TMZ that Ike Turner Jr. died Saturday in a Los Angeles hospital.
  • Most outlets report kidney failure as the cause, while at least one cites liver failure, and no official medical statement has been released.
  • Reports say he had long-standing heart problems and suffered a stroke in September that further worsened his condition.
  • Born in 1958 to Ike Turner Sr. and Lorraine Taylor, he was later adopted by Tina Turner after her 1962 marriage to Ike Sr.
  • He kept a low public profile but worked in music, including a stint as a sound engineer for Tina, and his death follows earlier losses in the family, including Ike Sr. (2007), Craig Hill (2018), Ronnie Turner (2022) and Tina Turner (2023).
