\n\tFollowing the Swansea service, Tyler will make a final journey through Skewen, Neath Port Talbot, the village where she grew up before her unmistakable voice carried her from local club stages to international fame. The procession is expected to travel through Skewen at approximately 1:20 p.m. BST before a private family service.<\/p>\n

\n\tTyler, born Gaynor Hopkins, died July 8 at age 75 in a hospital in Portugal, where she had been receiving treatment for an ongoing illness. In a statement previously shared on her official website, her family said she \u201cunexpectedly passed away\u201d as a result of the illness for which she was being treated.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe funeral notice remembered Tyler as \u201ca warm, generous artist whose music touched generations and continues to fill dance floors and karaoke booths around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHer legacy lives on in the timeless songs that made her a legend,\u201d the notice added.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat legacy is closely tied to one of the most recognizable voices in pop-rock: a smoky, weathered rasp that gave \u201cTotal Eclipse of the Heart,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a Heartache\u201d and \u201cHolding Out for a Hero\u201d their dramatic force. Tyler\u2019s songs became staples not only of radio and concert stages, but of karaoke nights, dance floors, film soundtracks and decades of pop culture singalongs.<\/p>\n

\n\tHer signature hit, \u201cTotal Eclipse of the Heart,\u201d topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in 1983. Written and produced by Jim Steinman, the power ballad appeared on Tyler\u2019s fifth studio album, Faster Than the Speed of Night<\/em>, and became one of the defining pop-rock recordings of the decade.<\/p>\n

\n\tTyler also found lasting success with \u201cIt\u2019s a Heartache\u201d and \u201cHolding Out for a Hero,\u201d the latter of which appeared on the Footloose<\/em> soundtrack and became one of her most enduring anthems.<\/p>\n

\n\tAcross a career spanning more than five decades, Tyler released 18 studio albums, represented the United Kingdom at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest with \u201cBelieve in Me,\u201d and was made an MBE in 2023 for services to music.<\/p>\n

\n\tHer family has requested family flowers only. Those wishing to honor Tyler\u2019s memory have been asked to donate to Noah\u2019s Ark Children\u2019s Hospital for Wales and Cerebral Palsy Cymru, two charities for which she served as patron.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
