What Gerard Depardieu is to France, Tina Turner may be to the United States.
The "Private Dancer" singer is giving up her US passport, in favor of a Swiss one.
"I'm very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here. ... I cannot imagine a better place to live," Turner told the German newspaper Blick.
Turner has lived in the Zurich suburb of Kuesnacht since the mid-1990s. The local Zuerichsee-Zeitung newspaper said on its website the local council announced its decision to grant the 73-year-old Turner citizenship in an official notice published in Friday's edition.
The decision still requires formal approval from state and federal authorities.
Turner's rep told Zuerichsee-Zeitung the singer wanted to "clarify her situation".
"Tina Turner will therefore also give back her US citizenship," she said.
Depardieu announced he was renouncing his French citizenship because of the country's high taxes, and he was offered Russian citizenship by President Vladimir Putin.
Turner was born in Nutbush, Tenn.

You are correct, she is beyond nutty. She belongs to a creepy cult that believes in repetitive chanting to get what you want.
I wonder if Tina wasn’t an Obama supporter. And now, like other Hollywood hypocrites, she is getting out of the mess she helped make.

EXCERPT:
When Oprah tried to convince Turner to endorse Barack Obama in the 2008 elections, Turner didn’t seem to care. But when Caroline Kennedy endorsed Obama, Turner decided to do the same.

TITLE: Tina is for Barack Obama!
Heck, if i could afford it i’d be outta here too. This country bears little semblance to the country I grew up in. It’s just gonna get worse and worse. The people who talk a big game are all talk. No nuts to assemble and do what needs to be done to right this ship. Probably the same people who are trashing tina and other of means for leaving.
I like it when blacks finally admit that they prefer to live in white civilized areas as opposed to living with their own racial group....
