The late Bonnie Tyler's final song Love, Light and Peace will be released on 13 November.

Bonnie Tyler's final song, Love, Light and Peace, will be released on 13 November, following the death of the Total Eclipse of the Heart hitmaker on 8 July. The singer, whose real name was Gaynor Hopkins, died at the age of 75 weeks after undergoing emergency intestinal surgery in Portugal, during which she was placed into an induced coma.

Her widower Robert Sullivan said in a statement that Tyler would have wanted her fans to hear the festive track. 'It's been a heartbreaking year, and I miss her every single day,' he said. 'Gaynor never stopped working. She loved singing, she loved her fans, and she poured her whole heart into these songs.'

Sullivan described how between live shows she would visit David Mackay's studio to work on new songs, and that the only time she had off was during COVID. Love, Light and Peace was written by Chrissie Hammond and Terry Britten, who also produced the track with Mackay.

Sir Cliff Richard paid tribute to Tyler following her death, calling her 'a wonderful friend' and saying her 'infectious zest for life entertained so many around the world'.
