The Welsh singer died in Portugal, her family said Thursday. She had been receiving treatment in the hospital for weeks.
Legendary pop singer Bonnie Tyler, best known for hits including “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” has died after weeks in the hospital, her family said Thursday. She was 75.
“Bonnie’s family and team are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly passed away last night in hospital in Portugal as a result of the illness that she was being treated for,” a statement said on her official social media accounts.
The raspy-voiced Welsh singer gained global popularity in the 1970s and 1980s for her power ballads including “Holding Out for a Hero” and “It’s a Heartache.”
[...] “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” came out in 1983 and made it to No. 1 on both the U.S. and U.K. charts. The bombastic ballad then became a karaoke anthem. It has had more than 1 billion streams, boosted by real eclipses in 2017 and 2024.
“I never get tired of singing it,” she once told BBC News. “I love it because everyone can’t wait to sing it.”
Tyler earned three Grammy nods, represented Britain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 and was awarded a medal of honor for her services to music by Queen Elizabeth II in 2023.
