Tina Turner reveals why she lived in Switzerland after renouncing US citizenship in resurfaced interview

A clip of Tina Turner explaining why she renounced US citizenship and moved to Europe has resurfaced following her death.

Speaking during a CNN interview in February 1997, the iconic singer explained how “Europe has been very supportive of me” and joked “I’m as big as Madonna in Europe”.

“I’m as big - in some places - as The Rolling Stones,” she said with a smile.

Turner had lived in Switzerland - in the Zurich suburb of Kuesnacht - since the mid-1990s.
