Summary
The candid and heartfelt memoir of vocal powerhouse Bonnie Tyler
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.

FABOOLUS
Great listening to Bonnie chuckling away in that lovely husky accent.
i've always liked that she has no airs and graces about her.
She gives a great tale of her days in the social clubs up to today, with lots of affection.
One of the best audio books I have heard

Wonderful &so so sincere
I have loved listening to your book Bonnie. Your family sound just wonderful - The Welsh Walton's.
You have such a brilliant attitude & attribute your foundations to your gorgeous Mom & Dad - didn't they do well.
I could have listened for much longer but am now going to look up & listen to lots of the songs you mentioned in your book that I have not listened to before.
Thank you so very much lovely lady.

Discover how lovely and wonderful Bonnie Tyler is…
the Valkyrie of rock tells her story with her unequivocal, unmistakable and now legendary hoarse voice: with interesting stories about showbusiness, resulting from 50 years of a successful and well-deserved career, a lot of love, laughter, anecdotes, tears and lots and lots of positive energy towards life, past, present and above all future.
the Valkyries were warriors, this splendid warrior faces life with love and sympathy. a panacea for fans but also for those who aren't.

Disappointing
Think someone else reading it might have made it more interesting. Love her singing and performing but this book was flat.
