Tina Turner felt love at first sight when she met her husband, Erwin Bach

Speaking in HBO’s upcoming ‘Tina’ documentary, Erwin – who eventually married Tina in 2013 – said: "We met at Cologne [Bonn] Airport - actually it was Düsseldorf Airport [in Germany], and her manager Roger [Davies] asked me to pick up Tina.”

And Tina added: "He was [16 years] younger [than me]. He was 30 years old at the time and had the prettiest face. I mean, you cannot [describe] it. It was like insane. [I thought], 'Where did he come from?' He was really so good-looking. My heart [was beating fast] and it means that a soul has met, and my hands were shaking.

“So [my manager] Roger said to me, 'Tina, you ride with Erwin,' and I wanted to go, 'Yay!' ”

Erwin then explained he wasn’t “nervous” to drive Tina to her destination, but “enjoyed” being in the car with her.

He said: "We enjoyed the ride. I enjoyed driving the artist, actually a superstar. You're normally a little nervous, but I wasn't nervous either. I was just doing the job."

Meanwhile, a previously released clip of the documentary saw the ‘Proud Mary’ hitmaker claim the “good” in her life has not outweighed the bad.

She said: "It wasn’t a good life. The good did not balance the bad. I had an abusive life, there’s no other way to tell the story. It’s a reality. It’s the truth. That’s what you’ve got, so you have to accept it. Some people say the life that I lived and the performances that I gave, the appreciation, is blasting with the people. And yeah, I should be proud of that. I am. But when do you stop being proud? I mean, when do you, how do you bow out slowly?"

And now Tina wants a chance to say goodbye and have "closure" with her superstar life.

Erwin added: "She said, 'I’m going to America to say goodbye to my American fans and I’ll wrap it up'. And I think this documentary and the play, this is it - it’s a closure."
