Bonnie Tyler's Funeral to Be Held Over a Month After Her Passing, With Online Broadcast

The funeral service for Bonnie Tyler, scheduled for August 17th, will be live-streamed on the artist's official website, allowing fans worldwide to participate in the farewell. The service, reserved for family and invited guests, will take place at St. Mary's Church in Swansea, Wales.

In addition to the online broadcast, large screens will be set up outside the church for fans to watch the ceremony.

Public tributes, however, will commence two days prior, on August 15th. The coffin will be transported to the singer's residence in Mumbles, with a planned route along Newton Road, and fans have been invited to gather there to pay their final respects.

Following the funeral, the cortege will proceed to Skewen, Bonnie Tyler's hometown, in the borough of Neath Port Talbot.

The artist passed away on July 8th, at the age of 75, at Faro Hospital, more than a month before the scheduled funeral date. Her family stated that her death was "unexpected" and "a consequence of the illness she was being treated for," later revealing that the singer suffered complications due to a perforated bowel.

In late March, Bonnie Tyler was urgently admitted to the same hospital unit in Faro, where she underwent surgery. During her hospitalization, she suffered cardiorespiratory arrest, was resuscitated, and remained in an induced coma until mid-June.

The performer of hits like Total Eclipse of the Heart and Holding Out for a Hero resided for much of the year in Albufeira, where she had owned a home with her husband since the 1980s.
