Ike Jr. – the son of the late music legend and her husband Ike Turner<\/a> – passed away at a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday (04.10.25), family member Jacqueline Bullock told TMZ.<\/p>\n

Tina’s niece Bullock explained that Ike Jr. had died just a day after his 67th birthday from kidney failure and that his health had declined in recent years as he had severe heart issues and had suffered a stroke last month.<\/p>\n

Bullock said in a statement to Page Six: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner<\/a>, Jr.<\/p>\n

“Junior was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together.”<\/p>\n

\nIke Jr. was adopted by Tina – who died aged 83 in 2023 – even though his biological parents were Ike (who passed away in 2007) and Lorraine Taylor.<\/p>\n

\nBullock remember his musical ability in her tribute to him.<\/p>\n

\nShe said in a statement: “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.<\/p>\n

\n“While he favoured the drums early on, my aunt and his mother, Tina Turner, insisted that he break down his drum kit after each practice.<\/p>\n

\n“This led him to favour keys. Eventually, Junior would end up helping to run Bolic Sound Studios, the recording studios founded by his father, Ike Turner.”<\/p>\n

\nShe added: “While he faced the same challenges that many of us have, he would become a sought after sound engineer, musician, and Grammy winner for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2007 for his father’s Risin’ With The Blues.”<\/p>\n

\nBullock concluded her statement by stating that the Turner family are thankful for the “outpouring of condolences”.<\/p>\n

\nIke Jr.’s sister-in-law Afida Turner – who was married to Ike and Tina’s late son Ronnie – also shared a social media tribute.<\/p>\n

\nSharing images of herself and Ike Jr. over the years, she wrote: “REST IN PEACE IKE JR : U WAS AMAZING BROTHER IN LAW I’M GLAD I SPEAK WITH U ON A PHONE BEFORE U GONE LOVE U RIP.”<\/p>\n
