Music legend Tina Turner has married her long-time partner in a civil ceremony in Switzerland. The 73-year-old singer who has won 8 Grammy awards tied the knot with German-born record producer Erwin Bach at a registry office in Zurich.

A Swiss newspaper says she will celebrate her wedding with a Buddhist ceremony at her lakefront mansion on Sunday.

Turner is known for hits like "River Deep, Mountain High" and "Private Dancer". Reports says she will celebrate the wedding at her lakefront mansion this weekend.

The singer was born in Tennessee in the US but has lived in Switzerland for nearly 20 years.

She was reported to have sent flyers to neighbours apologizing in advance for any noise from the residence for the party.

She has enjoyed huge success spanning decades which began in the 1960s and early 1970s performing with her husband Ike Turner. The couple divorced in 1978 after a stormy marriage in which she was abused. Ike died of a cocaine overdose back in 2007.

Turner retired from performing after her last tour ended in 2009, which also took in a Dublin date at the O2.

Watch the couple talk about their relationship in these archived interviews.
