It has been a week since Tina Turner died at age 83.
We’ve seen tributes from Oprah Winfrey and King Charles, while Beyoncé even performed “River Deep, Mountain High” — one of her greatest hits — on stage.
But over the past few days, the superstar’s death has reopened the old wounds that her family has so desperately tried to mend.
While the “Best” singer suffered the tragic loss of her two biological sons, Craig Turner and Ronnie Turner, before her own passing, her two adoptive sons, Ike Turner Jr. and Michael Turner, are still alive.
And we can reveal that she also leaves behind two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren — most of whom she never got to meet.
The family is still in shock over her death, as many had not heard that she was seriously ill, family sources told Pvnew.
Twanna Turner, the daughter of Tina’s first husband, Ike Turner, said, “It’s time to heal … the family really wants and needs to heal, they have gone through so much, and they continue to go through so much.
“These two powerhouses were such an entity — there will never be another Ike and Tina.”
Tina spent the last few decades of her life living in Switzerland with her second husband, Erwin Bach, at her $76 million mansion known as Villa Algonquin.
The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll had two biological children.
Her first son Craig, whom she had with Raymond Hill — one of Ike Turner’s backing group members — was born when Tina was 18.
She then married Ike, who adopted Craig, and the couple welcomed their son Ronnie.
She, in turn, adopted Ike Jr. and Michael, whose mom was Ike’s previous wife Lorraine Taylor.
Ike and Tina’s famously troubled marriage ended in divorce in 1978.
She barely knew her son Ronnie’s children, Raquel and Randy, nor did she ever get to meet Raquel’s little boys, Tyson and Tyrese.
Both Raquel and Randy have struggled and are still trying to come to terms with their father’s loss, we’re told.
However, Raquel is said to possess a “beautiful” singing voice.
While Craig and Ike Jr. never had kids, Michael has a daughter, Tiffany Turner-Dukes.
Turner-Dukes has three children: daughter, Marli, and sons, Amari and Gianni, with her husband.
Tiffany has founded an anti-bullying non-profit and is a jewelry designer and advocate for children with autism.
She is also a music producer, posting earlier this year about her complicated heritage, saying: “Growing up with a painful childhood along with a famous bloodline
