Tina Turner weds

Tina Turner becomes a bride.

The singer has wed her long-time partner ahead of a Buddhist celebration at their home on the banks of Lake Zurich.

Turner tied the knot with German-born record producer Erwin Bach at a registry office in the suburb of Zurich where they live.

The 73-year-old, who was born in Tennessee but has lived in Switzerland for nearly 20 years, was reported to have sent flyers to neighbors apologizing in advance for any noise from the residence where a small stage is being built for the party.

Turner retired from performing in 2009 and became a Swiss citizen earlier this year.
