However, she decided to settle down with her husband Erwin Bach, in her homeland, Switzerland. Interestingly, the musical legend became neighbors with none other than the tennis legend Roger Federer.

Federer has quite a few luxurious properties around the world. However, he only feels at home in Switzerland. The same was the case for Tina Turner as well.

In 2022, it was reported that Swiss musical legend Tina Turner bought a new property adjoining Lake Zurich with her husband, Erwin Bach. The couple, both of whom are Swedish, reportedly bought the property for $76 million. It boasts 10 buildings, a pond, a stream, a swimming pool, and a boat dock on Lake Zurich.

Just like Federer, they too felt at home in Switzerland. Interestingly, Federer has enjoyed some of her classics, like ‘Simply the Best.’ and has had a gala time with his friends at karaoke. Moreover, before switching to a different property, Roger Federer had also looked at Turner’s one before.

Unfortunately, less than two years after buying the property, the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll bid the world farewell at the age of 83. Following the tragic news, her fan, Venus Williams, made sure to pay a tribute to her while she was alive.
