The son of Tina and Ike Turner, Ike Turner Jr., has died. He was 67.

Tina’s niece Jacqueline Bullock told TMZ on Sunday, October 5, that Ike Jr. died in Los Angeles as a result of kidney failure. She also told the outlet that he had previously suffered “severe heart issues” for several years.

Bullock also issued a longer statement on her cousin’s death, which occurred one day after his birthday.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner, Jr.,” she told Page Six on Sunday. “Junior’ was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together. As the son of Tina and Ike Turner, from an early age, his talents were evident as there wasn’t an instrument he did not want to play.”
