Bonnie Tyler remembers loved ones in posthumous Christmas single

The beloved Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler delivers a poignant message of “love, light and peace” in her latest posthumous Christmas single, which was released this past Friday. The song also pays tribute to “the ones who still live on inside our hearts,” offering a heartfelt reflection on remembrance.

Bonnie Tyler, whose birth name was Gaynor Hopkins, passed away in July at the age of 75 following emergency intestinal surgery in Portugal earlier this year. Despite her passing, fans have been given the chance to hear her iconic husky voice one final time through the festive track entitled “Love, Light and Peace.”

Among the somber verses, Tyler sings, “Blessed are the ones who still live on inside our hearts. Here’s to the best of them.”
