EXCLUSIVE: Tina Turner and Erwin Bach seen on his birthday party
Rock queen Tina Turner, 76, is still in perfect tune with her husband Erwin Bach — who's 16 years younger than the music legend! The National ENQUIRER had the scoop when the two began dating back in 1987, as 46-year-old Tina was enjoying one of rock's most stunning comebacks. Erwin had already accumulated his own fortune as a 30-year-old record executive. The ever-impulsive Tina decided to move to Europe to stay by his side. Marriage didn't follow until 2013, but that might be the secret to how Tina and Erwin have maintained a long love affair!

EXCLUSIVE: Tina Turner and Erwin Bach seen on his birthday party
These pictures have The ENQUIRER catching Tina out to celebrate Erwin's birthday in Zurich, Switzerland. The rock diva has been living there with him for over 20 years — and even became a Swiss citizen! That didn't make her management happy. The ENQUIRER, however, was first to report how Tina had folks flipping out when these lovebirds began their romance! “Tina’s managers are furious with her because she refuses to spend more time in the U.S.," an insider told The ENQUIRER in 1987. "They’re afraid that her lack of exposure will cause her to lose fans in the U.S. — but she wants to be with Erwin, and that’s that!"

Her devotion to Erwin was part of Tina making a determined effort to rebuild her career and her life after spending years with abusive husband Ike Turner. Tina went on to enjoy decades of living well as the best revenge. “I never used drugs, alcohol or smoked,” said Tina, “and positive thoughts occupy my head at all times. Take care of the mental and the physical — it will make you feel great! You can’t do it for your husband or your man. You have to look in the mirror and want to look good in yourself!” The high-voltage “Private Dancer” still admitted to having some nips and tucks, including a nose job to correct the damage done by Ike’s beatings. “The body is a machine,” said Tina. “You train it to do what you want it to do!” It looks like Tina’s body is still doing very well!
