Ronnie Turner, also a musician, had health problems.

On Friday, Tina Turner posted a black and white photo in memory of her son on Instagram. “Ronnie, you left the world too soon. Grief-stricken, I close my eyes and think of you, my beloved son,” the legendary singer wrote.

Ronnie Turner was the son of a singer from her ex-husband Ike Turner. He sang with the band Manufactured Funk and starred in the 1993 film What’s Love Got to Do With It, a biopic about his mother.

Her eldest son, Craig Turner, whom she had with musician Raymond Hill, committed suicide in 2018, writes News.ro.
