According to TMZ, his death was confirmed by Tina Turner’s niece, Jacqueline Bullock, who revealed that Turner Jr. died from kidney failure.
Bullock also shared that he had battled severe heart problems for years and had suffered a stroke in early September.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner, Jr.,” Bullock said. “Junior was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together.”
