Tina Turner, the music legend whose career spanned five decades, died at the age of 83. Her death was confirmed to CBS News by her publicist, Bernard Doherty, on Wednesday afternoon.

Turner, well known for singles such as "What's Love Got To Do With It," received eight Grammy Awards over her illustrious career, as well as a lifetime achievement award in 2018.

"Tina Turner, the 'Queen of Rock'n Roll' has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland," said Doherty in a news release. "With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model."

He said Turner will be honored at a private funeral ceremony.

Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly."
