Singer Tina Turner is giving up her U.S. passport in favor of a Swiss one.
“I’m very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here…I cannot imagine a better place to live,” Turner told a German newspaper called “Blick.”
The “Private Dancer” singer is a native of Tennessee and has been living in the Zurich suburb of Kuesnacht since the 1990s.
Local Swiss newspapers said that the local council has granted the 73-year-old citizenship but still requires formal approval from state and federal authorities. It also said she will be renouncing her U.S. citizenship.
