Tina Turner death: Residents of Swiss town she called home recall “positive, powerful” superstar

Описание: Well-wishers gathered outside the lakeside home of Tina Turner on Thursday to pay tribute to the music legend who had made Switzerland her home for nearly three decades.

Flowers and cards laid outside the house in the picturesque town of Kuesnacht, on the shore of Lake Zurich, where Turner died on Wednesday at the age of 83.

A steady stream of visitors came to light candles and leave messages for the singer whose hits included "What's Love Got To Do with It?" and "Simply the Best." Turner moved to Switzerland with her longtime partner Erwin Bach in 1995. In 2013, shortly after marrying Bach, she became a Swiss national and gave up her U.S. citizenship.

"Well, she (Turner) was an extremely positive, powerful personality. She lived life, she loved to live here. She was very open-minded. I mean, all the stories you hear about superstars, they definitely didn't fit to her. I mean, she was really very natural and therefore, I think the whole community loved her," said Kuesnacht Mayor Markus Ernst.
