Tina Turner has paid tribute to her son, Ronald “Ronnie” Turner, who passed away suddenly Thursday at age 62.
“Ronnie, you left the world far too early. In sorrow I close my eyes and think of you, my beloved son,” the Grammy-winning singer wrote Friday in a caption for a black-and-white Instagram photo of herself, eyes closed, in a pensive pose.
Ronnie’s widow, Afida Turner, confirmed the news on Instagram on Friday. Paramedics had rushed to a home in the San Fernando Valley, where Ronnie was found struggling to breathe. Rescue workers attempted CPR, but he was pronounced dead.
The cause of death was not known, but Ronnie had reportedly suffered from various health issues, including cancer, in recent years.

The Tennessee-born “Proud Mary” songstress survived a stroke in 2013 and subsequently went through a kidney transplant four years later. In a 2021 documentary, simply titled “Tina,” she admitted she “didn’t spend a lot of time” with her sons.
