    Gutted, a Welsh legend. As drunk teens in the 00s we’d blast Total Eclipse of The Heart at then end of house parties and we’d all scream along (sorry neighbours). RIP Bonnie.

    Local reporting was that she has been struggling all the way through. Sad news, she was well thought of around Albufeira, always happy to chat. 

    RIP Bonnie.

    Bonnie Tyler, Meat Loaf  and Jim Steinman - all passed away in the last five years and now a truly heavenly collaboration

    How sad - was hoping she'd pull through. Always came across as very grounded despite her fame. 

    Let perpetual light shine upon you, Bonnie.

    We can all be thankful that Meat Loaf passed up the chance of recording Total Eclipse so we can appreciate Bonnie's vocals on it.

    RIP.

    RIP Bonnie. I was at the Reading festival in 88 when she braved the flying bottles and instead of crying off like some she carried on and ended up getting a great ovation. Unfortunately I missed it all as I left the festival for the afternoon to get a train to Selhurst to see us get thumped  by Liverpool but heard all about it when I got back.
    Total Eclipse Of The Heart what a song.
