Bonnie Tyler, the legendary Welsh artist known for her iconic hits such as "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Lost In France," has made a promise to her devoted fans - she will never retire from the music industry. Despite having already been in the spotlight for over five decades, the 73-year-old songstress confirmed her unwavering passion for performing during her headline show at The Brit Fest.
Reflecting on the challenges of the past year, Tyler shared that the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to take a break from performing, which felt like being retired. However, she quickly reassured the crowd that she has no plans of retiring anytime soon. "I love it. I do it because I love it," she exclaimed before launching into her next song.
During her set at The Brit Fest, Tyler took her fans on a nostalgic journey through her extensive catalog of music. From her opening performance of "Notes From America" to her spirited covers of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" and KISS's "Hide Your Heart," fans were treated to a night they would never forget.
One song, in particular, stood out for both Tyler and her fans - "Lost In France." This classic track marked the beginning of her illustrious career and holds a special place in her heart. As she belted out the lyrics, Tyler's passion for music was evident, reassuring her fans that she continues to perform because she loves it.
But it wasn't just her own songs that Tyler showcased at the festival. She also paid tribute to the late Tina Turner, a musical icon who passed away in May last year. Sharing a personal memory of singing Turner's songs with a hairbrush as a teenager, Tyler admitted, "I always thought she was invincible." She then honored Turner with a powerful rendition of "The Best," a song Tyler originally released in 1988, a year before Turner's version became a global hit. "When she passed away, I was devastated," Tyler added.
As the concert drew to a close, Tyler prepared to perform "Turtle Blues" for the encore, only to find out they had time for one final song. "That went fast," she remarked before delivering an electrifying performance of "Holding Out For A Hero." The crowd was left in awe, and many expressed their gratitude for getting to see Tyler live in action.
The Brit Fest, which also featured performances from other beloved artists such as Kim Wilde, Scouting For Girls, and Fleur East, has already announced its return for a second year in 2025. For Tyler and her fans, this was a night to remember, filled with unforgettable moments and timeless tunes. And for those who couldn't make it, there's always the promise of more to come. As the saying goes, "Bonnie Tyler will never retire."
