Tina Turner's six-foot-tall statue is coming to her hometown!

Tina Turner's six-foot-tall bronze statue is coming to Brownsville! Last year, the mayor of her hometown had promised to build a statue in her honour and according to a new report, it is finally happening!

Mayor William “Bill” Rawls, Jr. recently told TMZ that the local leaders have decided to fund a six-foot-tall bronze statue of Tina Turner and that it will be placed in the city's Heritage Park, which is located near the high school Tina attended.

According to the publication, the cost of the statue will be around $150,000, a part of which will be raised in a fundraiser event. Sculptor Fred "Ajano" Ajanogha will be working on the statue and if all goes as planned, the city will unveil it in fall 2025.

The plan doesn't stop at a statue. The city mayor is planning to build a huge new plaza for the park, with Tina's statue serving as the centrepiece. The city already has a Tina Turner museum and a huge plaza to honour the Queen of Rock & Roll will have a positive impact on the city's economy and tourism.
