Following the unexpected death of her son, Ronnie at 62, American singer Tina Turner is in a state of despair as she mourns his passing.

The singer, popularly known as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," took to social media to express her grief over the loss of her son. Although his exact cause of death is unknown, he had recently experienced several health problems, which included cancer.

American singer Tina Turner's son, Ronnie, who she shares with her ex-husband, Ike Turner, has mysteriously passed. According to reports, paramedics declared him dead after a tip to the police came in claiming he struggled to breathe even after being administered CPR.

Ronnie appeared in the 1993 biopic "What's Love Got To Do With It," which was based on his mother's real-life story. Before his passing, he was reportedly a real estate broker in addition to his music and acting career.

Turner, 83, took to her Instagram page to express her grief over the loss by posting a monochrome photo in which she had her eyes closed.

"Ronnie, you left the world far too early. In sorrow I close my eyes and think of you, my beloved son," she captioned it. The cause of his death is not yet known, but reports have it that he'd suffered some health problems, including cancer.

His wife, French singer Afida Turner posted a tribute on her Instagram page and captioned it in part, "I did the best to the end this time I was not able to save you. Love you for this 17 years this is very very very bad and I am very mad. This is a tragedy u with your brother Craig and your father Ike Turner and Aline rest in paradise… So unfair."

The deceased was age 62 at the time of his passing. He's survived by his mother, Tina, and wife, Afida.

The Grammy award-winning singer had earlier suffered the loss of her firstborn son, Craig, when he committed suicide at the age of 59. As reported by The Blast, Craig took his own life by fatally shooting himself and was pronounced dead at his California residence.

Turner had Craig when she was 18 with Raymond Hill, who played saxophone for the band kings of rhythm. He was adopted by Turner's ex-husband, Ike Turner.

In an interview with the BBC, the singer reportedly said she didn't know what took him to the edge at that stage, adding that the deceased was supposedly going to introduce his new partner to her.

The Queen of Rock' n' Roll later opened up in her chat with CBS News's Gayle King a year after and claimed she believed he took his life because he was lonely.

"I think Craig was lonely, that's what I think really got him more than anything else," she said, adding that she had pictures of him smiling, and she thinks he's in a good place.

When Turner spoke with CBS News about her memoir My Love Story, the singer revealed she endured major health complications, including stroke, intestinal cancer, and kidney failure.

Her 63-year-old husband, Erwin Bach, offered one of his Kidneys to her when she was in need. The singer told him he was still young and she was old, adding that she didn't mind passing. Despite refusing the offer from her husband at first, the singer eventually gave in and underwent surgery.

On her marriage with ex-husband Ike Turner, the singer revealed that she still gets "emotional" when talking about it. Turner recounted how she "had to say yes" to his proposal, or it "was gonna be a fight."

"I get emotional because, in the beginning, Ike was very good to me," she said, pointing out that he later became abusive and was cruel to her because he depended on her.

"He didn't like that he had to depend on me. And I didn't want to start a fight because it was always a black eye, a broken nose, a busted lip, a rib," she said.

Tina and Ike were both members of the music duo "Ike & Tina." She later went on to enjoy a solo career after her split with Ike, selling over 200 million records.
