Tina Turner opens up about kidney disease


Tina Turner recently revealed that she underwent a kidney transplant with an organ donated by her husband, Erwin Bach.

In her upcoming autobiography, she opens up about suffering from kidney disease and by 2016 her kidneys were at "20 percent and plunging rapidly."

The 78-year-old singer says she was shocked when her husband offered to give her one of his kidneys. She was “overwhelmed by the enormity of his offer.”

Turner and Bach have been married since 2013 after a long 27-year relationship.


In her book, 'My Love Story', Turner encourages people to sign up to donate organs in order to save lives.
