Singer Tina Turner to mark marriage with Buddhist celebration
View(s):ZURICH, July 17 (Reuters) – Singer Tina Turner has married her long-time partner in a civil ceremony in Switzerland ahead of a Buddhist celebration at their home on the banks of Lake Zurich on Sunday. The 73-year-old “Simply the Best” singer tied the knot with German-born record producer Erwin Bach at a registry office in the Kuesnacht suburb of Zurich where they live, a municipal official said on Wednesday.
“Turner had the civil ceremony a few days ago,” Kuesnacht official Hannes Friess told Reuters. Turner, an eight-time Grammy winner known for songs like “River Deep, Mountain High” and “Private Dancer”, will celebrate the wedding with a Buddhist water ceremony at her lakefront mansion this weekend, Swiss newspapers reported.
