A Facebook/Twitter hoax that Tina Turner had passed away, spread on the internet for the last few days; and judging by the increase of our visitors the situation needs a little bit of explanation. The whole thing started in France last Monday (June 4) when a website (necropedia.org, not to name it) published a Tina Turner obituary stating she passed away June 3rd during the night. Subsequently, some stupid people relayed this fake information on social networks.
Other people then stated that Tina’s sister, Alline had died and not Tina. Also false; unfortunately Miss Ruby “Alline” Selico Bullock passed away in September 2010.
So all of this said, Tina Turner is alive and well and will be for a long time! We hope to have cleared this rumor up for everybody. Long live the Queen!
Hi Ben & Sjef, Did Tina’s people comment on it?
Yes David. Several sites, like this one http://www.gossipcop.com/tina-turner-dead-june-2012-rip-death-rumor-twitter-obituary-died-hoax/, quote a representative of Tina confirming that she is ‘alive and well’.
Tina live longer,god bless you
and what would happen if they really died … with such things do not make jokes / Queen is thriving
it someone that hates her retirement? she can whatever she likes
Yo estaba tranquila porque aquí en este blog no se había dicho nada. Este sito es serio, no miro otros. Gracias, sigan así. Viva Tina!!!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Tina outlived us all!!!

Tina will always be full of life and always looks great. Long live Tina!
First I was shocked when I read it – Tina is 72 years old now! But I couldn’t find it in the news, and her death would be world-wide news. Then I knew that this couldn’t be true. But I was still a little worried about Tina for a few days until I read in the news that this was indeed fake. This is so ridiculous and without respect!
I must have been one of the only people who didnt see this at all until days later and when Tina’s people had already commented on it…i must say im so glad because if i had seen that i think my heart would have stopped!!
Whoever spread this terrible rumor, has a lot of hate and cruelty in his heart. I pity him.
Hi Corey,
As written it the article, it’s started because of a stupid website
