Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins, 8 June 1951, Skewen, Wales) is a Welsh rock and pop singer whose unmistakably husky voice has made her one of Britain's most recognisable performers. She broke through in 1977 with "Lost in France" and "It's a Heartache", then reached global superstardom in 1983 with "Total Eclipse of the Heart" - written by Jim Steinman and the lead single from her UK chart-topping album Faster Than the Speed of Night, the first British female artist to debut at number one on the UK Albums Chart. She represented the United Kingdom at Eurovision Song Contest 2013 and was awarded an MBE in 2022 for services to music.
Tyler emerged from a medically induced coma following emergency intestinal surgery in Portugal, but remains in intensive care; shows through August 2026 have been cancelled or postponed.
Tyler was admitted to a hospital in Faro, Portugal, for emergency intestinal surgery and subsequently placed in a medically induced coma.
Tyler released the new single "Only Love" and premiered it live at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London.
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" crossed 1 billion streams on Spotify, 43 years after its original release; the song also has over 1.2 billion YouTube views.
Tyler released "Together", a collaboration produced by David Guetta and Hypaton, which reached No. 4 on the French Airplay chart and was certified Gold for 15 million streams.
