Straight from the Heart

Bonnie Tyler, born Gaynor Hopkins, was brought up in Skewen, a small village near Swansea. She grew up to become one of Wales' best-known performers, achieving chart success all over the world. She is recognised for her distinctive husky voice and a long list of hit singles including 'Total Eclipse of the Heart', 'It's a Heartache', 'Holding Out for a Hero', 'Lost in France', 'More Than a Lover', 'Bitterblue' and 'If I Sing You a Love Song'. In her fifty-year career, Bonnie has performed for audiences in countries across the world, and she has enjoyed critical acclaim for her recent albums Rocks and Honey and Between the Earth and the Stars. Her latest album, The Best Is Yet to Come, is a contemporary approach to the sounds and styles of eighties pop rock. Bonnie is currently working on new music and her 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' tour, marking forty years of her evergreen hit.
