Full Title: Let's stay together? Tina Turner renounces her U.S. citizenship to become Swiss (so how much tax will she now pay?)
ZitatTina Turner is renouncing her American citizenship to become Swiss, it was revealed today.
The American rock diva has lived in the Zurich suburb of Kuesnacht since the mid-1990s and speaks fluent German.
The local Zuerichsee-Zeitung newspaper said on its website the local council announced its decision to grant the 73-year-old Turner citizenship in an official notice published in Friday's edition.
The decision still requires formal approval from state and federal authorities.
The Proud Mary singer told a local German newspaper: 'I'm very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here. I cannot imagine a better place to live.'
