Bonnie Tyler Remembers Loved Ones in Posthumous Christmas Single
The track ends with an unscripted sign-off from the Welsh singer and was written and produced by longtime collaborators.
Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler released a posthumous Christmas single titled 'Love, Light And Peace' on Friday, delivering a final message to fans wishing them "love, light and peace."
Tyler, whose real name was Gaynor Sullivan, passed away at age 75 in July following emergency intestinal surgery in Portugal, where she lived with her husband Robert Sullivan.
Songwriters Chrissie Hammond and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Terry Britten wrote the track, which Tyler recorded last winter; her husband gave his blessing for the release.
The song includes festive touches with lyrics about grief, Tyler singing "Blessed are the ones who still live on inside our hearts," and concludes with her unscripted sign-off: "To all, goodnight."
Known for 1980s hit 'Total Eclipse of the Heart,' Tyler released 18 studio albums and received an MBE in 2023 for services to music, continuing to perform until her death.
Just in time for Christmas, a ballad by Bonnie Tyler appears, recorded shortly before her death. The Welsh woman sings in it people who remain in their hearts. Text lines and closing words seem like a silent premonition.
The last song by singer Bonnie Tyler will be released during Advent. "Love, Light and Peace" sings the musician of people who died in July and "live in our hearts."
If you miss Bonnie Tyler's smoky voice, you can get in the mood again for Christmas with her sound. The singer, who died in the summer, left one last song.
