Tina Turner, the villa in Switzerland where she had retired

Tina Turner83, died there, in her home near Zurich, Switzerland, the one she bought just a couple of years ago.

It is a large estate in the small town of Stäfa, overlooking Lake Zurich, where the singer had retired with her husband Erwin Bacha German music executive, whom the rocker married in 2013.

The couple had had to wait for Swiss citizenship before being able to buy the sumptuous property, for an amount equivalent to 76 million euros. Inside a 24 thousand square meter park, it was “a perfect refuge during the lockdown”, complete with a pond, stream and swimming pool.

Tina had left the United States in 1994 and in an interview with Larry King she explained: “I left America because my success is above all in Europe and because my partner is from there”.

The historic Swiss mansion had previously belonged to casino king Hans Jecklin and the couple seems to have “tipped” it off tennis champion Roger Federer, who had been very interested for some time.

In front of the gate, after the announcement of the death of the rock’n’roll queen, flowers, messages and candles appeared, for the last farewell to the great Tina Turner.
