Contrary to reports, Tina Turner is feeling just fine.

German news source Express reported that Turner's alleged driver, Albert B. Cologne, announced the iconic performer had suffered a "mild stroke," but said she was "well on the road to recovery." The driver also said she was forced to cancel a trip with husband Erwin Bach. The website has since deleted the article, and Turner's rep told News.com.au that the "Proud Mary" singer, 74, does not have a driver named Cologne. The rep also denied that Turner ever planned a vacation to Carinthia.

"The fact is that Tina enjoys excellent health," Turner's rep said.

Oprah Winfrey slammed another stroke report via Twitter in February. "Tina had a bad flu weeks ago. She's recovered. And LIVING life! Sent me a single long-stem red rose for my birthday," she wrote.

Turner currently lives in Switzerland with Bach, whom she married last year.
