Hundreds of fans lined the streets of the Welsh village of Mumbles on Saturday to bid farewell to singer Bonnie Tyler as her coffin, draped in a Welsh flag, was brought home. Tyler died last month in Portugal at age 75. The Grammy-nominated singer, known for "Total Eclipse of the Heart," died following emergency intestinal surgery in May at her home in Faro. Fans gathered outside her former residence and left floral tributes, with many traveling from across the UK to pay their respects. Born Gaynor Hopkins in Skewen, Wales, Tyler earned three Grammy nominations and represented Britain at Eurovision in 2013. A public celebration of her life will be held Monday in Swansea before her final journey through her hometown.
