Singer Bonnie Tyler dies, aged 75 Artists and authorities used social media to mourn the death of Bonnie Tyler, aged 75. Known for the hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart", the singer was hospitalized in May, when she underwent emergency surgery and was placed in a medically induced coma. Bonnie died on Wednesday (8). The news was confirmed by his family this Thursday (9). Pop rock icon of the 80s, Bonnie Tyler performs at TCA's Concha Acústica Divulgação/ TV Bahia Carol Vorderman, presenter "I was very sad to hear, this morning, the news that Bonnie Tyler passed away. As a Welsh woman, it's difficult to describe the scale of the legend that she and her music became, especially for my generation, which had to fight for practically everything in terms of women's rights. Bonnie represented this: she was that super cool rocker, of Wild hair and who didn't apologize for being who she was. I met Bonnie several times and she was always very genuine, smiling, curious and cheerful. Wales will miss you deeply, Bonnie Tyler." Tina Arena, singer "I get goosebumps reading this. I was lucky enough to cross paths with her a few years ago. We both performed together at Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th birthday celebration at the Royal Albert Hall. She was a wonderful woman and artist. Rest in peace, dear Bonnie." Alex Skolnick, guitarist "What sad news! She was a lovely person, inside and out. I had the pleasure of working with her some twenty years ago on the Jim Steinman retrospective (“Over the Top”, later renamed “The Dream Engine”), supervised by Jim himself and featuring his long-time collaborators Steve Rinkoff (production) and Steve Margoshes (piano). We played two seasons of performances at Joe’s Pub in New York, in which the great Bonnie joined us; she rocked the stage and was a delight to be around—extremely fun and approachable, despite being a legend.
