Tina Turner, the Pop Legend, has announced that she will be giving up her U.S. Passport to officially become a citizen of Switzerland. Though the singer was born in the United States, she has been living in the town of Kuesnacht, Switzerland since 1995 when her partner, record executive, Erwin Bach was transferred there.
"I'm very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here. ... I cannot imagine a better place to live," explained Turner to German language daily Blick.
Turner is awaiting the go ahead from the Canton of Zurich to become a full Swiss citizen. She has already passed her local civic test and interview so it shouldn't be long before she will be trading in her U.S. passport for her new citizenship. Adjö Tina!
