Tina Turner Renounces American Citizenship

Tina Turner made news last week when it was reported that the 73-year-old music legend was planning on renouncing her American citizenship in favor of one from Switzerland -- a move that immediately sparked speculation that Turner was simply trying to avoid paying hefty taxes. But while the motion is hardly a spontaneous decision,

Turner has resided in Zurich with her partner, German music manager Erwin Bach, since 1995 -- the news still came as a shock for die-hard "AMERICA" fans who'd never think of waving goodbye to their country, 'tis of thee.

Turner isn't the only celebrity who's ended ties to the U.S., of course.
