Tina Turner: 'Cher Inspired Me To Leave Ike'.

Tina Turner: 'Cher Inspired Me To Leave Ike'....

Tina Turner has confessed Cher inspired her to leave her abusive marriage to ex-husband Ike - because her pal looked so happy as a single woman.

Tina left Ike in July 1976, a year after Cher ended her marriage to Sonny Bono.

The pair were close pals and Turner admits she was fascinated watching Cher take to being a single woman.

Speaking on an Oprah Winfrey Show special on Thursday (8May08), during which she performed onstage with Cher, Turner says, "I just remember she was so free.

I admired her freedom.".

But the 68-year-old diva admits being on her own was tough at first. She says, "I called it Tina's Operation Oops, because I made so many oops. But I slowly learned.".

Meanwhile in seperate news its been revealed Cher had to embark on a monster tour after leaving ex-husband Sonny Bono - because a judge forced her to pay him $2 million (£1 million).
