NEWS: MUSICIAN IKE TURNER PASSES

Wednesday, December 12, 2007

12676462alfredcusto1212200744226pm.jpg

Reports are coming in that musician Ike Turner died today at the age of 76.

“He did pass away this morning” at his home in San Marcos, in northern San Diego County, said Scott M. Hanover of Thrill Entertainment Group, which managed Turner’s musical career.

There was no immediate word on the cause of death, which was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.com.

Turner managed to rehabilitate his image somewhat in his later years, touring around the globe with his band the Kings of Rhythm and drawing critical acclaim for his work. He won a Grammy in 2007 in the traditional blues album category for Risin’ With the Blues.

But his image is forever identified as the drug-addicted, wife-abusing husband of Tina Turner. He was hauntingly portrayed by Laurence Fishburne in the movie What’s Love Got To Do With It, based on Tina Turner’s autobiography. USA-TODAY/PHOTO: WIREIMAGE

Condolences to his family, be sure to check back for any updates…

My condolescences to his friends and family. But I really don’t know what to say to this. I mean all we really know Ike Turner for is beating down Tina and singing sometimes.

I won’t disrespect the dead…but I’m blank on this one. Honestly all that runs through my mind now is the very serious (yet extremely funny at times) scenes from “What’s Love Got To Do With It”

R.I.P. though…

Insane. Now if Ike was yall uncle, grandpa or daddy, there would be no jokes.
James Brown was a wife-beater too. (Remember that awful mugshot with the wild hair?)
But everyone rushed to pay their condolences up here.
That football player/ Jay Z boyfriend that many of the ladies were salivating over was also said to be a abusive….

Nobody’s perfect and we all have issues and vices. Cut Ike some slack and give his family their respect. He’s gone now.

@ Dame, I’m cool… just waiting to take my last final on Friday! Then it’s Winter Break!!!

You can’t deny that Ike had some hits and I ain’t talking about songs. Okay I quit. I do not condone hitting females. Fellas if your girl start swinging on you run off like a little beyotch lol. But what if she hit you with a good right hook?

Its sad people are still talking about stuff that Tina doesn’t even talk about anymore herself. Their relationship ended like 20 years ago. He paid his debt to society, rehabilitated himself and went on to perform around the world, write a book, and become a Grammy-award winning artist in his own right, completely independent of Tina. He’s pretty much steered clear from trouble since back then.

R.I.P Ike Turner

Another thing , Nobody deserve to be hit but Tina Turner was no angel . She was a whore , her first child was conceived with one of Ike”s band members. Dont get it twisted, like she was a perfect house wife /performer .

I am sorry, but once a man beats on a woman, 9 times out of 10 he will always be abusive. this man had some deep problems with women, and drugs. if he changed his life then great, but if not then he will have to answer for it. no disrespect, but people do tend to glamorize celebrities no matter how bad they are, but if he was a regular joe walking down the street, no one would be rushing to his defense. none of us are perfect, but when you cross the line and beat a woman, what kind of man does that make you? how are you supposed to be remebered?

#46 she was a whore becasue she had a baby out of wedlock and it happened to be with someone in the same band….wow that is deep you think she is a whore because of that. she might have been involved with that man for sometime before the baby came along. and Ike didn’t seem to mind because he laid down with Tina so what does that make him. I guess your chasitiy belt is strapped on double tight huh!

And what do all of those irrelevant comments you left has to do with anything? I can ask you the same thing. This post is about his passing not “what’s love got to do with it” . And Im so calm . You don’t see any exclamation points behind any of my sentences . I didn’t ask you to comment on my post. You could have easily bypassed it .

Ummmmm…the post mentions the movie. And frankly, thats all most people know about Ike. You calling Tina a whore was so random it sounded like it came from Ike himself.

Never disrespect the dead beause you would not want anyone to do that to you or a family member and god says vengence is mine, so just let him deal with Ike. I am sorry that so many people on this site are making fun of the dead, that’s so sad. I hope god saves some space in heaven for you all, because as far as I know aint nobody perfect and there are still alot of boys or men who abuse women in all kinds of ways. So just say rest in peace and keep it movin.

I hope he changed his personal life in his last days. Even though some people may think Tina would not be one to miss him for obvious reasons, they shared a history and this news must have unsettled her somehow.

Generally, i don’t feel to bad even for the ‘good’ livin folks when they die old so i’m not really all emotional for him either. He wasn’t ancient, but he got in some good time on earth at 76 so R.I.P Ike.
