Tina Turner and Ike Turner's son, Ike Turner Jr . has died. He was 67. TMZ was first to report the news; the legendary "What's Love Got to Do with It" singer's niece, Jacqueline Bullock , confirmed news of Turner Jr.'s passing, from kidney failure, which came one day after his 67th birthday. Turner Jr. was Ike's son with Lorraine Taylor, with whom he also shared Michael Turner , born in 1959, however Tina adopted both early in their childhood, and raised them even past her divorce from Ike in 1978.

Jacqueline further told TMZ that Turner Jr. had battled severe heart issues for years, and his health had been declining for some time, especially after suffering from a stroke in early September.
