It was he who changed her name from Her Birth name, Anna Mae Bullock, to Tina Turner - a decision he took without her knowledge, one example of his controlling behaviour.
She recalled the trauma she suffered throughout their relationship in her 2018 memoir, My Love Story , in which she compared sex with the late musician to " a kind of rape".
" He used my nose as a punching bag so many times that I could taste blood running down my throat when I sang, " she wrote.
