RIP Ike

He was credited with helping craft the very first rock and roll song in 1951; Rocket 88. Then he became paired with his wife; who swiftly overshadowed him and most people probably haven’t given him a second thought except whilst enjoying one of Tina’s concerts.

I am of course talking about Ike Turner. Commonly known for his bullying and ogre-like behaviour towards former wife Tina; the 76 year old has passed away.

He died at home and no cause of death has been released yet. Drugs? Old age? Or perhaps great envy and massive guilt regarding the huge success that Tina has rightfully received? He could have died a legend; instead I doubt that in the fame department many will miss him.

RIP Ike.
