Bonnie Tyler has been a world star
since 1976, when she stormed the charts with the
infectious 'Lost in France'. She has consistently
been one of Britain's top-selling female artists and
has twice enjoyed incredible international success.
Bonnie was born 'Gaynor Hopkins', in 1951 (not 1953,
as many biographies claim!) in the small village of
Skewen, outside Swansea, in South Wales. For as long
as she can remember music has played a huge part in
her life. In fact her earliest memories are those of
her older brothers and sisters rolling up the living
room carpet and dancing to the pop hits of the day.
Also, Elsie Hopkins, Bonnie's mother, is a keen
opera fan and distilled in Bonnie a great love of
music from an early age. However, her heaviest
influences at a young age included the Tamla Mowtown
records, Janis Joplin and of course her hero Tina
Turner - all of which soulful influences shine
through in many of her recordings.
