Perhaps best known for abusing his one time wife Tina Turner, Ike Turner has died at 76 on Wednesday at his home in suburban San Diego.

His career was overshadowed by the abuse, but he managed to clean up his image a bit in later years, touring around the globe with his band the Kings of Rhythm.

No comment from Tina Turner yet, but I find it ironic that he was overshadowed in life by the very woman that he supposedly beat.
