SAN DIEGO (AP) - Ike Turner, whose role as one of rock's
critical architects was overshadowed by his ogre-like image as the
man who brutally abused former wife and rock icon Tina Turner, has
died. He was 76.
Scott M. Hanover of Thrill Entertainment Group, which managed
Turner's musical career, confirms Turner died this morningm
(Wednesday) at his home in San Marcos, in northern San Diego
County.
Turner, a native of Clarksdale, Mississippi, managed to
rehabilitate his image somewhat in his later years, touring around
the globe with his band the Kings of Rhythm and drawing critical
acclaim for his work.
He won a Grammy in 2007 in the traditional blues album category
for "Risin' With the Blues."
There was no immediate word on the cause of death.
