It is not uncommon for world stars to have funerals in the image of their careers: grandiose. This was the case for Michael Jackson, whose moving ceremony took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in 2009. Numerous tributes were held, made by world artists and those close to the singer. In France, more recently, Johnny Hallyday was entitled to a national tribute, bringing together all his fans, including a course on a Harley Davidson. In short, it is customary that the funerals of stars are greatly celebrated to thank them for all that they have been able to give and transmit through their art.

This will not be the case for Tina Turner, however, because the singer “didn’t want a big public funeral”. His former assistant told the Mirror: “She wanted to be cremated and I expect that to be done privately. I’m sure there will be some kind of memorial and tribute concert later.” His friend and personal assistant for more than 20 years revealed that the funeral will take place in Switzerland, and why: “They will take place for his very close friends in Switzerland, and his manager. It won’t be a big family celebration.”. Since 1994, Tina Turner was indeed in Küsnacht, near Zurich.
