Bonnie was married to my cousin and has been such a part of my life. We are photographed here together the night before my wedding. So sang and rocked it at my wedding. An extraordinary woman with vocals to match. A one of kind artist, who so easily could have been a comedian because she was one of the funniest people I ever met. Thank you Bonnie for the joy you brought so many. Sleep tight beautiful lady. We shall forever \u2018Keep A Welcome In The Hillsides\u2019 of Wales for you. Sending my love to Robert and the family. God Bless\u201d \u2014 on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe shared similar styles of vocalizing. She was a good pal, a true soul stirrer. I sing \u2018It\u2019s A Heartache\u2019 every night on tour. I\u2019ll miss you darling Bonnie.\u201d \u2014 on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cDear Bonnie Tyler passed today, she had such a great voice and I\u2019ll always be grateful of her beautiful version of Straight From The Heart. Thanks Bonnie. RIP\u201d \u2014 on X<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI’m so sad for Robert, Bonnie’s extended family and the whole world who loved Bonnie Tyler. She was incredibly fun to tour with, always laughing, warm hearted and effervescent. There will never be a voice so instantly recognisable and distinctive. She will be so missed but like Bonnie, her iconic sons will be in our hearts forever.\u201d \u2014 on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cOne of the great voices of rock. \u2026 I could not imagine chicken racing a tractor to any other song. RIP\u201d \u2014 in a statement to Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, referencing the use of Tyler’s \u201cHolding Out For a Hero\u201d in his iconic 1984 film, \u201cFootloose\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo sad to hear about Bonnie Tyler. She was an incredible woman, so kind and friendly to me as a young artist. Over the years, we met several times and she was always the same Bonnie. Her voice was truly amazing and standing next to her you really got to feel her power. A beautiful legend. My sincere condolences to her lovely husband Bob, her family and her wonderful band at this very sad time.\u201d \u2014 on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAnother wonderful friend gone too soon. Bonnie\u2019s infectious zest for life entertained so many around the world, and to be a good friend to all, including me. It is shocking news to wake up to you this morning and I send my love to her family at this very sad time. RIP Bonnie\u2026.
