Ike Turner Laid to Rest

Music legend Ike Turner made a final appearance on Thursday in a spectacular gold-studded lilac suit with a golden Fender Stratocaster by the side of his coffin. The elaborate silver coffin was topped with a massive spray of white flowers at the Angelus Funeral Home on Crenshaw Blvd., where hundreds filed past to pay their final respects. Phil Spector, who’s accused of murder, was spotted in the queue.

He may have had a shady past including beating up diva ex-wife Tina Turner and doing cocaine, but we can’t deny what he’s done for the industry. I hope Ike finally finds his peace.
