Tina Turner

The late singer was born a Baptist but converted to Buddhism in 1973.

Before her passing in May 2023 at the age of 83, Turner said her Buddhist beliefs were a major turning point in her career and personal life.

Being a Buddhist gave her the courage she needed to leave her abusive husband, Ike, in 1976. She said: “Even more to me than an inspirational philosophy that guides me, the wisdom of Buddhism actually saved my life.”
