Tina Turner’s Son Ike Turner Jr. Passes Away at 67 — Another Tragic Loss for the Turner Family
Tragedy has once again struck the Turner family. Ike Turner Jr., the son of music legends Tina and Ike Turner, has passed away at the age of 67.
He died on Saturday, October 4, 2025, in a Los Angeles hospital — just one day after celebrating his birthday.
Cause of Death
According to TMZ, the news was confirmed by Tina Turner’s niece, Jacqueline Bullock, who revealed that Ike Jr. died from kidney failure. Bullock also shared that he had struggled with serious heart issues for years and 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 — he was like a brother. We grew up in the same household together.”
Echoes of Tina Turner’s Health Battle
Ike Jr.’s passing mirrors the health struggles faced by his legendary mother, Tina Turner, who died in 2023 at the age of 83 in Switzerland. The iconic singer had battled kidney failure and high blood pressure for years. In 2017, her husband, Erwin Bach, donated a kidney to her, but her health continued to decline over time.
