Ike Turner Jr., a Grammy-winning producer who was the son of Ike and Tina Turner, has died. He was 67.

Tina’s niece Jacqueline Bullock told TMZ that Ike Turner Jr. died Saturday at a Los Angeles hospital from kidney failure. She also said he had battled heart issues for years and suffered a stroke last month.

She also shared a statement with The New York Post: “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 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. 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.”

Bullock went on to note that Ike Turner Jr. went on to help run Bolic Sound Studios, the recording studios founded by his father, Ike Turner. He became a sound engineer and won a Grammy for best traditional blues album in 2007 for his father’s Risin’ With the Blues.

His sister-in-law, Afida Turner, also posted a tribute on Instagram: “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 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻”

Ike Turner Jr. was born in 1958 to Ike Turner and ex-wife Lorraine Taylor. He was later adopted by Tina Turner along with his brother Michael. Tina died in 2023, while Ike Sr. died in 2007.
