SWANSEA, United Kingdom (AFP) — Hundreds of people joined mourners on Monday for the funeral of Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, with fans singing along to the star’s song It’s a Heartache as her coffin was carried into church.

The husky-voiced star, known for a string of hits including Total Eclipse of the Heart, died in Portugal last month aged 75.

More than 1,000 people gathered outside the church ahead of the funeral in south Wales, which was also live-streamed.
