Hundreds of fans lined the streets of a Welsh seaside village on Saturday to bid farewell to late singer Bonnie Tyler as her coffin was brought home. The Grammy-nominated pop star died last month in Portugal at age 75. Tyler, known for her 1983 hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart," died after emergency intestinal surgery in May. Her coffin, draped in a Welsh flag, passed through Mumbles, where fans left floral tributes outside her former home. Born Gaynor Hopkins in Skewen, Wales, Tyler earned three Grammy nominations and represented Britain at Eurovision in 2013. A celebration of her life will be held Monday in Swansea before her final journey through her hometown.
