Legendary musician Ike Turner has died at the age of 76-years-old in his San Diego home.  Ike was once married to singer Tina Turner.  They are perhaps the most famous rock and soul duo ever. They had hits with songs such as Proud Mary, Take Me Higher, and Nutbush City Limits.

TMZ has confirmed that music legend and the former Mr. Anna Mae Bullock has died. He was 76.

Turner apparently died in his home in San Marcos, Calif., just outside of San Diego.

Sources close to the family tell TMZ he may have died in his sleep.

Rumors are abound that he married 14 times but legally just four of them are on record.  Tina Turner’s marriage to Ike was one of abuse and violence.

Ike and Tina married in Tijuana, Mexico and Tina had a son with Ike. However, their marriage was overshadowed by Ike’s constant abuse towards her. Eventually, Tina left him after an especially violent dispute escalated while riding to a hotel before a show in Dallas in 1976. Tina later filed for divorce and it was finalized in 1978 with Ike keeping every asset attained during the marriage with the obvious exception of her given stage name. Ike openly cheated on Tina with other women, one of which was former Ikette Ann Thomas, whom he had a baby by and later married in 1981.
