He was 67. Tina's niece Jacqueline Bullock told TMZ that Ike Turner Jr. died Saturday at a Los Angeles hospital from kidney failure. She also said he had battled heart issues for years and suffered a stroke last month. She also shared a statement with The New York Post: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner Jr. 'Junior' was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together. As the son of Tina and Ike Turner, from an early age, his talents were evident as there wasn't an instrument he did not want to play. While he favored the drums early on, my aunt and his mother, Tina Turner, insisted that he break down his drum kit after each practice. This led him to favor the keys."
