Ike Turner Jr, the son of Tina Turner and Ike Turner, has died. He was 67.

The musician and sound engineer died from kidney failure at a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday, family member Jacqueline Bullock told TMZ.

According to Bullock, his health had declined in recent years. He had serious heart issues and suffered a stroke last month.

"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner, Jr," Bullock said in a statement to Page Six.

"Junior was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together."

Tina and Ike Sr were parents to four children. The singer adopted Ike Sr's two sons, Ike Jr and Michael, from his previous relationship with Lorraine Taylor.

The pair later welcomed their first and only child together, son Ronnie Turner. Tina was also mum to Craig Raymond Turner, whom she had previously with Raymond Hill.

Tina died in May 2023 at the age of 83 after a long illness.

Ike Sr, who married 14 times, died of a cocaine overdose in December 2007 at the age of 76.

Ike Jr was pre-deceased by brother Craig, who died by suicide in July 2018, and brother Ronnie, who died of colon cancer four years later.
