Simply the best

Over the years, there have been books, a film and even a stage musical about Tina Turner, but Sky Documentaries’ new feature-length film, Tina, is set to give us the definitive version of the rock and soul singer’s amazing story.

Now aged 81, Turner looks back on her personal and professional lives as she details her impoverished upbringing, the abuse she suffered at the hands of her violent and controlling first husband, musician Ike Turner, and how she redefined her career following their divorce.
