LOS ANGELES - Californer -- "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner, Jr. "Junior" was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together.
As a 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. While he favored the drums early on, my aunt and his mother, Tina Turner, insisted that he break down his drum kit after each practice. This led him to favor the keys. Eventually, Junior would end up helping to run Bolic Sound Studios, the recording studios founded by his father, Ike Turner.
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".

We, as a family, appreciate the outpouring of condolences and request privacy at this time."
About Jacquline Bullock
Jacquline Bullock is best known as the niece of legendary singer and performer Tina Turner, the "Queen of Rock 'n Roll." Jacquline's mother Alline Bullock—Tina's sister, and a songwriter and manager of the Ikettes—traveled extensively with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. During that time, Jacquline spent much of her childhood living with her cousins in the Los Angeles home of Ike and Tina Turner. This rare upbringing gives Jacquline a unique, firsthand perspective on one of music's most electrifying acts and what is widely regarded as the greatest comeback in music history. Though she leads a relatively private life compared to her iconic aunt, Jacquline has made appearances on OWN's Welcome to Sweetie Pie's and has participated in public events honoring Tina Turner's legacy. She remains the last surviving family member with a direct connection to the full arc of Tina Turner's extraordinary journey.
