Tina Turner told Cher, Oprah she was ‘ready’ to die while battling long illness

“She had said to me then that she was actually ready to go, meaning, ready to leave the planet,” Oprah Winfrey revealed in a new interview Thursday.

Turner died of natural causes after battling kidney disease.“My kidneys are victims of my not realising [sic] that my high blood pressure should have been treated with conventional medicine,” she“I have put myself in great danger by refusing to face the reality that I need daily, lifelong therapy with medication. For far too long I believed that my body was an untouchable and indestructible bastion.

Aware of Turner’s struggles, Cher said on “The Beat with Ari Melber” that she greatly cherished any time she spent with the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll in recent years.“I started going to visit her because I thought, ‘I need to put this time into our friendship, so she knows we haven’t forgotten her,’” the “Strong Enough” songstress recalled.Cher added that Turner gave her a parting gift during their last visit together. “She gave me a pair of shoes the last time I saw her,” she revealed.
