US singer and actress Cher said she often visited the late Tina Turner, who was “having a good time in spite of the fact that she was really sick”.

After a career spanning more than six decades, the American-Swiss singer who had hits including Proud Mary and Simply The Best, died “peacefully” on Wednesday age 83 in her home in Switzerland following a long illness.
