Fans lined the streets of Mumbles, Wales, on Saturday to honor singer Bonnie Tyler, who died unexpectedly on 8 July at age 75 in a Portuguese hospital. The celebration marked her final journey home. Tributes from Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bryan Adams, and Rod Stewart followed her death. Locals described Tyler, born Gaynor Hopkins, as a "Swansea girl through and through" who never forgot her roots. Fans gathered outside her home and along Newton roads to pay respects. A public service continues Monday at St Mary's Church in Swansea, followed by a private family service in Neath Port Talbot. Tyler, survived by husband Robert Sullivan of over 50 years, is remembered for hits including Total Eclipse of the Heart.
