I think OP’s title is fine…I don’t get what the problem is. She is no more. She has died. Of course her music carries on.
+1. "Is no more" is a euphemism, just like "passed away," "has left us," "is gone," etc.
OP here. I am trying to understand why my title caused so much consternation to certain posters. Someone actually called me a pig yesterday over the thread title.
It is offensive OP because she still exists in her afterlife in heaven.
It is not offensive; it's what many people who lived in the country and small towns used to say. It's an expression.
New to me. I did not live in small towns and it's like saying, "Tina Turner-kicked the bucket!" "Tina Turner! Worm food!"
It's crass.

Could you all just stop arguing about the title? This is supposed to be about Tina Turner.

You’re the one who’s ignorant. Is English not your primary language? Where are you from?
Not a hillbilly like you are.

I didn’t realize she was so huge in Europe, more than in the US.

Arguing about the title is more disrespectful than anything in the title

Both she and Ike truly suffered as kids. I'm not excusing his abuse, but he was terribly abused during his childhood.
Yes, you are excusing his choice to abuse both Tina and his children. Tina forgave him, but she never forgot what he did to her. And she never trusted him again. The world is lucky that Tina was so intelligent to listen to her inner voice and NOT people telling her to worry about Ike and his motives. She got away ALIVE when that man literally wanted her DEAD.
PP here. Not excusing at all to state that a boy was beaten with boards and sodomized. That's abuse.
What's that supposed to mean? That's [i]abuse. As if the abuse he inflicted on Tina wasn't as bad?
Pipe it down clown

For some personal reason i guess, you are twisting the meaning of my words. I have never said, suggested, or implied that Tina wasn't abused by Ike; and I have not defended his abuse of Tina in any way. In my original post, i stated that both "truly suffered as kids. I'm not excusing his abuse, but he was terribly abused during his childhood."

Well, that’s because you’re crass.
Not at all. It's an old country expression for passing on. It is biewed as gentler than "dying."
The “crass” PP has been watching too much Monty Python.
They definitely have a “been called that word many times and are preeettty sure they know what it means” vibe.
