Tina Turner obituary: Pop legend who overcame adversity to become global star

Tina also made solo appearances on US television in shows like American Bandstand and Shindig.

It was enough for the Rolling Stones to ask the Revue to back a UK tour, and that led to further European dates and a bigger audience. In the same year, the duo had their last big hit, Nutbush City Limits - but their personal relationship was on the slide. "A lot of people thought that Tina Turner was history," she told German Vogue. "They only knew Ike and Tina Turner and didn't understand what was going on. So I had to test myself."

It seemed she could do little wrong as hit followed hit and she played to sell-out tours throughout the 1980s.Success continued through the following decade, including a recording of GoldenEye, the theme song for the first James Bond film to star Pierce Brosnan.Tina Turner was hailed as a feminist icon, and, in 2003, attended the Kennedy Center Honours evening where stars such as Oprah Winfrey, Al Green and Beyonce joined President George Bush to pay tribute.
