Tina Turner revealed the secret about her kidney ailment saying that it happened back in 2013. She became ill and desperately needed a transplant. Her kidneys were only functioning at 20% when her husband, German music executive, Erwin Bach, offered her one of his organs. Tina said, “[He] shocked me by saying that he wanted to give me one of his kidneys. [I was] overwhelmed by the enormity of his offer.
