She formally retired in 2009, after her “Tina! 50th Anniversary” tour. But amidst her successes, she also survived terrible abuse from her former husband and musical partner, Ike Turner. She has sold nearly 200 million records and more tickets than any other solo performer in history.

At a certain moment in her grief process, Suzy stopped speaking (unless she had to answer a direct question, in which case she spoke-which is sort of a relief relative to other novels that feature selective mutism).
