TINA TURNER - TURNER 'SECURE' ENOUGH NOT TO MARRY

TURNER 'SECURE' ENOUGH NOT TO MARRY

Legendary soul singer TINA TURNER has no plans to wed her long-term love Erwin Bach, because she doesn't need a "big party" to feel "secure" in her relationship. The Private Dancer singer, 67, has been with Bach, a German record executive, for almost 20 years and has laughed off rumours they will marry. She says, "The reason we have been together so long is because we are very honest with each other and I just think, at this point, a wedding would simply be one big party - and we have parties all the time. "Besides, I don't need an excuse to wear wonderful dresses. And I don't need that attention. I am secure." Turner, whose tumultuous marriage to mentor Ike Turner ended in 1978, is set to play her first show in seven years next month (18MAY07) at London's Natural History Museum to raise money for a children's charity.
