Turner’s journey was not without its trials. She battled intestinal cancer and faced the aftermath of a stroke. In 2018, she bravely disclosed that her husband had selflessly donated a kidney, saving her life at a time when she contemplated assisted suicide.
Roger Davies, Turner’s manager for three decades, lauded her as “a unique and remarkable force of nature” and expressed profound sadness at her passing. Her strength, incredible energy, and immense talent have left an indelible mark on the music world.
