Bullock said in a statement to The New York Post: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner Jr. ‘Junior’ was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together. As the son of Tina and Ike Turner, from an early age, his talents were evident as there wasn’t an instrument he did not want to play.

"While he favored the drums early on, my aunt and his mother, Tina Turner, insisted that he break down his drum kit after each practice. This led him to favor the keys. Eventually, Junior would end up helping to run Bolic Sound Studios, the recording studios founded by his father, Ike Turner. While he faced the same challenges that many of us have, he would become a sought after sound engineer, musician and Grammy winner for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2007 for his father’s Risin’ With the Blues. We, as a family, appreciate the outpouring of condolences and request privacy at this time."

Ike Jr.'s sister-in-law, Afida Turner — who was married to Ronnie — also remembered him with a sweet social media tribute.

"REST IN PEACE IKE JR : U WAS AMAZING BROTHER IN LAW I M GLAD I SPEAK WITH U ON A PHONE BEFORE U GONE LOVE U RIP ??????," she wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of herself and Ike Jr. throughout the years.
