Hundreds of fans lined the streets of Mumbles, Wales, on Saturday to bid farewell to Bonnie Tyler as her coffin, draped in a Welsh flag, was brought home. The singer died last month in Portugal at age 75. Tyler, known for her 1983 hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart," was hospitalized in May for emergency intestinal surgery. Fans gathered outside her former home and left floral tributes, with one local saying her songs touched many in Wales. Born Gaynor Hopkins in Skewen, Tyler earned three Grammy nominations and represented Britain at Eurovision in 2013. A public celebration of her life is scheduled for Monday in Swansea.
