Ike Turner Jr., son of music legends Tina, Ike Turner, dies at 67

Ike Turner Jr., the son of music legends Tina Turner and Ike Turner, has died at the age of 67.

According to his cousin Jacqueline Bullock, Ike Jr. passed away on Saturday, October 4, at a Los Angeles hospital due to kidney failure.

Bullock told TMZ that his health had deteriorated in recent years following severe heart problems and a stroke last month.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner Jr.,” Bullock said in a statement to Page Six. “Junior was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together.”

Born into music royalty, Ike Jr. showed early passion for instruments and went on to help run Bolic Sound Studios, founded by his father.

He became a respected sound engineer and won a Grammy Award in 2007 for Best Traditional Blues Album for his father’s Risin’ With the Blues.

Ike Jr. was one of four children raised by Tina and Ike Sr. He was preceded in death by his brothers Craig, who died in 2018, and Ronnie, who passed away in 2022.

In her statement to Page Six, Bullock paid tribute to Ike Jr.'s music skills.

“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," she said.
