| Tina Turner |
She's an American icon, but Tina Turner is reportedly about to renounce her U.S. citizenship in order to become a Swiss citizen.
The "Private Dancer" singer has lived in the Zurich suburb of Kuesnacht
since the mid-1990s. The Zuerichsee-Zeitung newspaper said on its
website that the local council announced its decision to grant the
73-year-old Turner citizenship in an official notice published in
today's edition, according to The Associated Press.
The decision still requires formal approval from state and federal authorities.
Turner's rep did not respond immediately to ABCNews.com's request for
comment, but she told Zuerichsee-Zeitung that the singer wanted to
"clarify her situation."
"Tina Turner will therefore also give back her U.S. citizenship," her rep told the Swiss newspaper.The singer, who has sold 200 million records, first came to Zurich with
her longtime partner, German music manager Erwin Bach. They live in a
lake house called Chateau Algonquin.
