Tina Turner’s new memoir, “My Love Story” reveals the full extent of the harrowing ordeals the 78-year-old singer has overcome in her decades in the spotlight. One of those being her encounter with potential suicide.

The first half of “My Love Story” is dominated by a relationship that’s quite the opposite of Turner’s book title – her physically, mentally and sexually abusive marriage to Ike Turner.
At one of her most desperate moments, Turner says she tried to kill herself during one of her and Ike’s many tours, taking 50 sleeping pills one night before a show. She survived, recalling how she woke up in a hospital bed with Ike in her face, telling her, “You should die”.

And yet, her suicide attempt “wasn’t a cry for help,” she says. “When I took those pills, I chose death, and I chose it honestly. I was unhappy when I woke up.”
