Ike Turner Dead at 76

Turner, who was famous both for making music with Tina Turner and for marrying and abusing her, had reportedly cleaned up his act after serving jail time in the early '90s for cocaine possession (according to E!, this caused him to miss his own induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame).

Tina's spokesperson said, "[Tina] has not had any contact with him in 35 years. No further comment will be made."
