Hundreds of fans lined the streets of the Welsh coastal village Mumbles on Saturday as singer Bonnie Tyler's coffin was brought home for burial. Tyler died in early July at a Portuguese hospital after an illness, aged 75. A memorial service will be held Monday at St Mary's Church in Swansea before she is buried in her birthplace, Skewen. The ceremony will be streamed live on her official website and shown on big screens outside the church. Tyler had been scheduled to start a European tour in May but was hospitalized in Portugal for emergency intestinal surgery. She was born in 1951 and rose to fame with hits like "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
