Erwin Bach and Tina Turner
Tina Turner weds in Switzerland
US pop star Tina Turner celebrated her wedding to long-time partner Erwin Bach in a Buddhist ceremony at her luxurious lakeside villa in Switzerland.
Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, British rock icon David Bowie, pop singers Eros Ramazzotti and Sade, as well as fashion designer Giorgio Armani were among the 120 guests who attended the party on Sunday at Lake Zurich.
The legendary 73-year-old singer and the 57-year old German record company manager have been a couple for 27 years. Swiss media report that they were married secretly in a civil wedding several weeks ago.
Turner’s estate, the Chateau Algonquin, was decorated with about 70,000 red and yellow roses from Holland. The couple had everyone participate in a traditional Buddhist water blessing in which wedding guests pour water over the couple’s hands.
A committed Buddhist since the 1970s, Turner has recorded an album of Buddhist chants. Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock to a sharecropper family in Tennessee, divorced her first husband, Ike Turner, in the late 1970s.
That marriage collapsed as Ike Turner’s addiction problems and violent nature took their toll on her. Her wedding to Bach took place on the same date as her wedding to Turner 51 years earlier. Turner died in 2007.
Throngs of reporters and onlookers were kept at a distance from the property, and police established an exclusion zone at the lake to prevent curious boaters from congregating.
A German fan who had endured hours in front of the chateau in hopes of catching a glimpse of her idol fainted in the sweltering summer heat and was taken to hospital, the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper reported. The eight-time Grammy Award winner has lived in the Alpine nation since the mid-1990s.
