US pop legend Tina Turner, who has been living in Switzerland since 1995, will soon receive Swiss citizenship and will give up her US passport, Swiss media reported Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’m very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here…I cannot imagine a better place to live,” Turner told German language daily Blick.<\/p>\n

Turner, 73, who was born Anna Mae Bullock, lives in picturesque town of Kuesnacht, on the shores of Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland, and has passed a local civics test and interview, according to an official announcement published in the Zuerichsee-Zeitung daily.<\/p>\n

The woman behind such hits as “Private Dancer”, “Simply the Best” and “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” will still need a green light from the canton of Zurich as well as federal authorities before she can receive red passport, the two papers reported.<\/p>\n

Turner spokeswoman Karin Rhomberg told the Zuerichsee-Zeitung that the singer wanted to “clarify her situation”.<\/p>\n

“Tina Turner will therefore also give back her US citizenship,”<\/strong> she said.<\/p>\n

Turner, who has learned German, reportedly moved to Switzerland in 1995 when her longtime partner, German record executive Erwin Bach, was transferred here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not cool! You can just stay there!<\/strong><\/p>\n
