We all know the name, and we all know that voice, but what the world doesn't know is how Bonnie Tyler came to be the vocal powerhouse that took the music industry by storm.

Now, after nearly 50 years in the limelight, Bonnie will lift the lid on her private life: her 50-year marriage, health, family, friendships, and fallouts with the world's biggest stars. Bonnie's is a fascinating, whirlwind of a life, and here, for the first time, she tells the whole story with no filter.

The Welsh 80s pop legend tells her story of humble start in a small mining town in South Wales where she lived with her large, loving

and eclectically musical family. From singing in church, her incredible voice surprising the congregation, to performing in pubs, to becoming a global icon and national treasure, throughout her successful career she has remained true to herself and her beginnings.

This year marks the

40th anniversary of Total Eclipse of the Heart, one of the most famous power ballads of all time.

Now as Bonnie approaches 50 years in the business she continues to move with the times, releasing new music and constantly touring the world.

A happy childhood of music and freedom is conjured up here, along with the trickier side to being a woman in the music industry in the 1980s.

Bonnie will

speak with her characteristic no-nonsense humour and candour to create an inspiring and entertaining story of success, longevity and staying true to your roots.
