TINA Turner's widower is planning to transform their £58million "weekend retreat" into a museum dedicated to her life.

The sprawling property in Stäfa, Switzerland is just half an hour from the mansion on the banks of Lake Zurich which the music icon shared with her husband, Erwin Bach.

It may now be used to showcase memorabilia from the superstar's career, Swiss newspaper Blick reports.

Queen of Rock 'n' Roll Tina died on Wednesday aged 83, after years spent battling a string of illnesses.

Her death sparked an outpouring of tributes from around the world.

Daughter-in-law Afida, widow of her late son Ronnie, told how the loss had come as a shock despite medical treatment having already taken its toll.
