Hundreds of fans lined the streets of Mumbles, Wales, on Saturday to bid farewell to singer Bonnie Tyler as her coffin, draped in a Welsh flag, was brought home ahead of her funeral. Tyler, who died last month in Portugal at age 75, was beloved for her 1983 hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart." She had been hospitalized in May for emergency intestinal surgery. Fans gathered outside her former home and left floral tributes. Born Gaynor Hopkins in Skewen, Wales, Tyler earned three Grammy nominations and was honored as a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2022. A private celebration of her life is scheduled for Monday in Swansea.
