The beloved star died at the age of 83 at her home in Küsnach near Zurich, Switzerland, after battling with health troubles for years.
Turner had found out that her unmanaged high blood pressure had accelerated her kidney damage – and if her body was going to shut down, she started making peace with the idea of death.
Her husband Bach ended up donating his kidney to her in 2017.
The final image Tina posted of herself on March 22 2021 showed her looking frail – as she told her fans she was excited for the release of her documentary ‘Tina.’
In an excerpt of her book published by DailyMail.com, Turner wrote: ‘By December 2016, my kidneys were at a new low of 20 per cent and plunging rapidly. And I faced two choices: either regular dialysis or a kidney transplant.
‘It wasn’t my idea of life. But the toxins in my body had started taking over. I couldn’t eat. I was surviving, but not living.
‘I began to think about death. If my kidneys were going, and it was time for me to die, I could accept that. It was OK. When it’s time, it’s really time. I didn’t mind the thought of dying, but I was concerned about how I would go.
‘One of the benefits of living in Switzerland is that assisted suicide is legal, though the patient has to inject the lethal drug herself.
‘There are several organizations that facilitate the process, including Exit and Dignitas. I signed up to be a member of Exit, just in case.
‘I think that’s when the idea of my death became a reality for Erwin. He was very emotional about not wanting to lose me, not wanting me to leave.’
Tina Turner revealed that it was in that moment that her husband offered her a kidney.
She recalled: ‘He said he didn’t want another woman, or another life; we were happy and he’d do anything to keep us together.
