You know the name and you can't miss the voice. Now you can read the incredible story of how a shy teenage music lover, Gaynor Hopkins, transformed into an international music legend, Bonnie Tyler, and established a remarkable career that remains vibrantly active to this day.

After five decades in the industry – during which she has recorded some of the most iconic songs of all time, traveled the world, and performed in front of royalty and the Pope – Bonnie is sharing her highly interesting journey for the first time. And she holds nothing back. From her early years growing up in a small mining village in South Wales, to her career as a club singer that led to her accidental discovery by a talented talent scout, the beloved fan of Top of the Pops had no idea that one day she would find herself on the legendary illuminated stage alongside some of her biggest idols.

Her rise to fame might sound like a fairy tale if it weren't all true. Bonnie has always bravely followed her own path, even when skeptics in the music world told her she would fail. Her courage led her to collaborate with the legendary producer and songwriter Jim Steinman, with whom she recorded the classic ballads ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ and ‘Holding Out for a Hero’, as well as duet with some of the biggest names in the music scene.

Undoubtedly, she is one of the greatest vocal forces of her generation, but her roots remain tightly bound to her beloved Wales. She is decisively down-to-earth, funny, and endlessly charming. Whether she talks about her family, whom she adores, or shares funny stories from her many decades in the spotlight, Bonnie never fails to entertain.

Finally, we have the chance to hear the incredible story of a woman who has paved the way for so many other female artists - and has had a wonderful time doing it. Her eagerly awaited memoir is inspiring, touching, and comes straight from the heart.
