BBC reports she rose to fame alongside husband Ike in the 1960s with songs including 'Proud Mary' and 'River Deep, Mountain High'.

She divorced the abusive Ike in 1978, and went on to find even greater success as a solo artist in the 1980s.

Dubbed the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, Tina Turner was famed for her raunchy and energetic stage performances and husky, powerful vocals.

Roger Neal, his publicist, said he died of natural causes at his home in Indiana.

Over the course of a film and TV career that began in 1970, the Tony Award nominated actor was best known for his portrayals of policemen and gangsters.

He is survived by his wife and three children.

In a statement following his death, his wife Dee Dee Sorvino said that "there will never be another Paul Sorvino".

"He was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage," Mrs Sorvino added.
