The native of Nutbush, Tennessee, who rose to fame with her husband Ike in the 1960s, went on to talk about her own individual battle with kidney failure.
"My kidneys are victims of my not realising that my high blood pressure should have been treated with conventional medicine. I have put myself in great danger by refusing to face the reality that I need daily, lifelong therapy with medication," she wrote. Turner was candid when she accepted her apparent shortsightedness when it came to how she treated her body. The post read, "For far too long I believed that my body was an untouchable and indestructible bastion. I am therefore delighted to be able to support a new international campaign for kidney health. You can read the whole story of my disease on the website www.showyourkidneyslove.com."
News of Turner's death was announced on Instagram also. "With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow," the post read. "Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music."
