For over 20 years Eddy Armani travelled the world with Tina Turner as the singer's personal assistant
Through the rollercoaster years when Tina Turner broke free from her abusive marriage and went solo to conquer the world, she could always rely on her personal assistant Eddy Hampton Armani.
They first met when Eddy, now 65, started the Ike and Tina fan club while still a teenager living in Los Angeles. He worked in Ike’s Bolic Sound studio in Inglewood, California, before he finally persuaded Tina to take him on, and they travelled across the US, Australia, Asia, Europe and to the UK. "He was terribly charming, he was such a gentleman and they would meet and talk and get a little bit flirty “He told her, ‘I’ve been a fan of you for such a long time, I have to have you,’ and that was the start – he pursued her.
