50 years ago today, on July 4, 1976, Tina Turner gained her freedom. 🎆🕊️

After years of abuse, Tina and Ike Turner had their final violent confrontation in a limousine in Texas July 3, 1976. They were scheduled to perform a concert that night, but it was canceled. Tina then left with nothing but the clothes on her back, a gas card 💳, and just 36 cents. Her courageous decision marked the beginning of one of the greatest comeback stories in music history.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! 🧨🎇
