\n\tShe also shared a statement with The New York Post:<\/em> \u201cIt is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner Jr. \u2018Junior\u2019 was more than a cousin to me, but\u00a0rather a\u00a0brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together. As the son of Tina and Ike Turner, from an early age, his talents were\u00a0evident\u00a0as there\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0an instrument he did not want to play. While he favored the drums early on, my aunt and his mother, Tina Turner, insisted that he break down his drum kit after each practice. This led him to favor the keys.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBullock went on to note that Ike Turner Jr. went on to help run Bolic Sound Studios, the recording studios founded by his father, Ike Turner. He became a sound engineer and won a Grammy for best traditional blues album in 2007 for his father\u2019s Risin\u2019\u00a0With\u00a0the\u00a0Blues.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tHis sister-in-law, Afida Turner, also posted a tribute on Instagram: \u201cREST IN PEACE IKE JR : U WAS AMAZING BROTHER IN LAW I M GLAD I SPEAK WITH U ON A PHONE BEFORE U GONE LOVE U RIP \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIke Turner Jr. was born in 1958 to Ike Turner and ex-wife Lorraine Taylor.
