Tina Turner will be releasing a new book in 2018! Legendary singer will publish her second
autobiography, "Tina Turner: My Love Story". Thise book is expected to be the centerpiece
of the "What's Love Got to Do with It" singer's milestone year as Turner will be celebrating
her 60th anniversary in the entertainment industry. Some of the topics that Turner is
allegedly writing about include her love story with German music executive Erwin Bach to
a hidden illness. So, Who is this fellow Erwin Bach, the man
who's held the affection of Tina for over 30 years?
Erwin Bach was born 24th January, 1956 in
Cologne, Germany, and was working as a record executive in Europe.
He's credited with being instrumental in the success of several major artists, including
Paul McCartney, Pet Shop Boys, Queen and Pink Floyd as well as Turner herself in his native
land, where he served as divisional managing director of EMI Germany.
Later, as managing director of EMI Recorded Music Switzerland, he helped boost the careers
of such groundbreaking acts as Manu Chao and Radiohead.
In 1985 Bach first met Turner at an EMI record
label party and became friends. Their relationship remained platonic for a year after which they
started dating. They had amazing chemistry despite the 16-year age difference. The couple
enjoyed a happy and calming romance which was exactly what Turner needed after her abusive
marriage to Ike Turner. Erwin said that it's not Turner's superstar
status that interests him. "I'm not in love with the rock act," Bach said. "I'm in love
with the human being." Though people often speculated when the couple
would get married, Bach and Turner refused to walk down the aisle. In fact, in a 2006
interview with talk show host Oprah Winfrey, Turner said, “People often ask me why don’t
I marry. I have love. I have a good life. I don’t need to interfere with that.”
Although, Turner turned down Bach's first
proposal, In July 2013, she wed her music producer beau Erwin Bach at their lakeside
estate in Switzerland. The lavish gathering was attended by 120 guests,
including Oprah Winfrey, Giorgio Armani, David Bowie, Eros Ramazzotti and Sade.
According to reports, their estate was decorated with 70,000 red, and yellow roses from Holland.
The bride wore a gorgeous off-the-shoulder black gown with a full, hi-low black, and
green skirt.
Erwin Bach’s net worth is a healthy $50.0 million, which has been accumulated through
his successful career in the music industry as a record producer. He also increased the
overall size of his net worth by a large margin, when he married singer Tina Turner. Undoubtedly,
Bach’s net worth will become even bigger, as he successfully continues his career, as
a music producer.
For over 30 years, Bach and Turner were content to live their leisure-filled European lifestyle
where they took bicycle rides through Zurich and the South of France. Bach and Tina have
lived primarily at their home in Zurich, Switzerland for the last years (obviously they have several
properties, including a second home on the French Riviera.). Bach is a great cook, and
loved preparing homemade dishes for Turner and pamper her. There is no information about
Erwin Bach’s kids, so it is very likely that he is not a parent. Today, at Erwin Bach’s
age of 62, he is happy married to one of the best soul and pop singers of all time.
