Ike Turner Jr., the son of Tina Turner and Ike Turner, died at age 67 Saturday at a Los Angeles hospital. Tina’s niece, Jacqueline Bullock, confirmed his death in a statement to the New York Post. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner, Jr.,” Bullock said in a statement. “‘Junior’ was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together.” His cause of death was kidney failure, according to TMZ. The outlet reported that his health had been in decline, suffering from heart issues and a stroke. Ike Jr. was born in 1958 to Ike Sr. and Lorraine Taylor; Tina adopted him when he was two years old. “From an early age, his talents were evident as there wasn’t an instrument he did not want to play,” Bullock said.
