Singer Bonnie Tyler - known for a series of hits in the 1970s and 80s, including Total Eclipse of the Heart - has died at the age of 75
A statement on her website says she died "unexpectedly" last night in a Portuguese hospital "as a result of the illness that she was being treated for"
Total Eclipse of the Heart was her biggest hit, writes Mark Savage - but after a string of flops, it almost didn't happen
The song passed a billion streams on Spotify earlier this year. As it was written by someone else, Tyler said she earned "just about nothing" from it․

In May, the singer was placed into an induced coma after emergency intestinal surgery in Portugal. Last month, her spokesperson said she was out of the coma but remained "very unwell and in intensive care"․
