Tina Turner will give up U.S. citizenship

After spending the better part of 20 years in Switzerland with her longtime partner (and new husband) Erwin Bach, Tina Turner no longer has much need for her American passport. The Washington Post reports that the singer has filed to "relinquish" her U.S. citizenship, citing the fact that she "has no plans to reside in the United States in the future." A source tells the Post that "relinquishment" means she did not "formally renounce her U.S. citizenship under 349(a)(5) Immigration and Nationality Act, but took Swiss citizenship with the intent to lose her U.S. citizenship."

She hasnt resided in the US in quite sometime & I believe she "retired" from performning in the early 2000's. She looks great & she pulled a young man! (Go Tina!) Sounds like she's enjoying her life abroad & she probably has long since come out from behind the "rose colored lenses" about life in the U.S.

I always think about that when it comes to the subject of "ex-pats" & ppl I know who've relocated to Canada or overseas.
