Oprah Winfrey has denied reports that her close friend Tina Turner had suffered a stroke at her home in Switzerland.
Oprah — who attended Tina’s wedding to German record exec Erwin Bach last year — took to her official Twitter account on Friday to deny a report over the singer’s ill health.
‘Tina had a bad flu weeks ago. She’s recovered. And LIVING life! Sent me a single long-stem red rose for my birthday,’ she tweeted.
A gossip site, Hollywood Street King falsely reports that Tina, real name Anna Mae Bullock, had suffered the stroke at her home in Zurich, Switzerland, and was under ‘nurses’ care’.
Tina retired from performing 2009, having moved to Switzerland for a relatively quiet life in 1995.
Last year it was revealed that Tina is no longer an American citizen, after her long-time residency in Switzerland.
