Tina Turner Ties the Knot

Tina Turner Marries Longtime Love Erwin Bach in Switzerland

Tina Turner and Erwin Bach (Getty Images)"Let's Stay Together" … forever!

Tina Turner married her partner of 27 years, German producer Erwin Bach, "a few days ago" in a civil ceremony on Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland, municipal official Hannes Friess toldthe AFP.

But the party is just beginning. The two plan to celebrate in style at Kusnacht Manor, also in northern Switzerland, over the weekend with a Buddhist ceremony. According to reports, the 120 friends and family members, including Oprah Winfrey, David Bowie, and Sade, were asked to dress in all white.

Turner is expected to don a white dress by Giorgio Armani.

Turner, 73, and Bach, 57, have been living together in Switzerland for 18 years. In January, it was revealed that Turner was going to be "giving back" her U.S. citizenship in order to become a Swiss citizen, and, in April, the change became a permanent one.

"I am very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here," she told the German newspaper Blick. "I could not imagine a better place to live.”

Turner and Bach met in 1985 while he worked as a record producer at EMI, and they have been dating since the '90s.

In a 1996 interview with "60 Minutes," Bach noted that it's Turner who's in charge in their relationship. "I think she is the boss, yeah," he said. "I'm second to the boss, but she's the boss."

Bach also made it quite clear how he feels about the "Proud Mary" singer. "I'm not in love with the rock act," he said. "I'm in love with the human being."

This is the second marriage for Tina, who was married to Ike Turner from 1962 to 1978. He passed away in 2007.

The "Goddess" of Rock 'n Roll. I'm so happy 4 them! Amazing woman by whose example women over 40 can look "sexy" and be comfortable IN their "sexiness." She deserves ALL props for her contribution to the Female race. smile

Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up.

Time doesn't seem to have flown for Tina at all... She looks wonderful and seems happier in her chosen life than ever... Makes me feel happy.. biggrin Contrast that to the last interview I saw on Oprah when Tina was touring with Cher and Cher said that she hated growing old and couldn't stand it and Tina said that she had no problem with it and was happy with the aging process (or words to that effect!). And Tina is older than Cher! Go, Tina! cool
