As Tina Turner’s neighbor placed flowers outside the stone symbol’s lakeside home in Switzerland on Thursday, she said, “Somebody like this ought to reside everlastingly.”.
The rock legend spent more than three decades residing in Turner’s castle, where a steady stream of guests regularly left cards and notes. He was 83 years old at the time. They had Barbara Burkhalter as one of their names.
Turner’s neighbors in the affluent Zurich suburb of Kuesnacht, where the diva had a calm, inconvenience-free presence, paid tribute to Turner after her passing on Wednesday, along with world pioneers and other stone legends.
I brought a little card and some flowers. “I needed to come,” 69-year-old Burkhalter said. ”.
She was one of my favorite people. Even though we were happy to see her, we wouldn’t have bothered her.
Even though we can no longer hear it, I still feel your voice in my heart. ”.
While reflecting on the influence Turner’s music had on her life since a young age, Antonella Carrera broke down in tears.
According to the 53-year-old, “Tina gave me many, many moments where I needed to feel good again.
Music is what always pulls one back and where you find yourself when going through hard times. ”.
“I know she’s gone, and the legend endures forever, but it’s just the pain of realizing that this lovely woman with this gift from God has at long last found peace. ”.
The American-born superstar received various sized floral arrangements, candles, cards, and handwritten notes, one of which read, “Rest in power. ”.
In addition to her strong vocals and captivating stage presence, Turner’s victory over domestic violence touched many people all over the world.
She was praised by a well-wisher named Guia Greaves for being a quiet, considerate, and modest member of her community.
Greaves told AFP: “I don’t have the foggiest idea how frequently I drove by here while paying attention to her music and shouted, “Hello, Tina!”.
“In addition, I really like a big motivator for her in terms of aggressive behavior at home — how she developed without hostility. ”.
“Now that we have her music, we must keep enjoying this treasure. ”.
In 1995, Erwin Bach, Turner’s longtime partner, and she relocated to Switzerland. Some people left sympathy blossoms for the 67-year-old German maker.
Their gardens are filled with enormous pink and blue-hued plants and well-kept hedges.
Forced trees conceal a three-story, white chateau with turrets that rises up to Lake Zurich from the street.
Bryan Mackie, 29, one of the mourners, remarked that “her music became a part of my life as a teenager and got me thinking about what we make of this life.”.
Compared to my girlfriend, I am a bigger fan.
Her sadness inspired me to bring her flowers.
Three kisses were given to the castle by a man kneeling; flowers were placed at the entrances and touched delicately; and an Italian-speaking woman was praying.
Turner’s melody blasted from the nearby cocktail lounge in recognition.
Andrea Brunetti, a 47-year-old resident of Lucerne and an IT professional, presented a rose with a love heart.

Outside Tina Turner’s stunning Swiss home, there were prayers and tears.
She never stopped giving until the very end. Some people will always be alive. Tina, thank you for all that you have done for the neighborhood.
Jerika Seiler, 48, a 20-year friend of Turner’s and a frequent sight of him in the neighborhood’s eateries, lit a candle.
I usually cry every time I watch her movie, she admitted, adding that she had seen three of her performances”.
She was extremely tenacious.
She gave me great life advice, which I’ll miss.
In many things, she was exceptional.
She is the best and always will be.
