My father used to tape ‘Top of the Pops’ for me every Sunday, and I would sit in my bedroom, write down the lyrics of all of my favourite songs, and sing along. I was always singing in my bedroom with a hairbrush. Bonnie Tyler Read Quote
It’s no good singing if you just want to be a pop star; you’ve got to work at it and do it for the love for it, not because you think it will make you famous. Bonnie Tyler Read Quote
I advise wannabe singers to form a band, practise in your garage if you have to, but do as many charity or open mic shows as possible to get experience. I sang for seven years before getting a record deal, and I was already loving what I was doing. I just got lucky and got discovered. Bonnie Tyler Read Quote
When I do a T.V. show, I hear all these artists in their dressing rooms doing scales – I’ve never done it because I’ve never had voice training. What I do to prepare is get in my car and sing along to the radio for about 20 minutes. Bonnie Tyler Read Quote
My mother, who died aged 82, had Alzheimer’s. Losing your memory is bad enough, but everything shuts down. You can’t remember how to eat or go to the toilet. It’s a terrible disease and so distressing to watch it take over someone you love. Bonnie Tyler Read Quote
I’d be happy to live till 80 as long as I was comfortable and in good health. Mind you, ask me again on the eve of my 80th birthday. Even so, I hope we don’t all start living to be 120. I’m not sure I’d cope with another 60 years. Bonnie Tyler Read Quote
When I tour with the new album, I still do the classics, and I love the atmosphere it creates with the whole audience singing along. Bonnie Tyler Read Quote
I never enjoyed making videos, even though the ‘Total Eclipse’ video was nominated for a Grammy along with the song. We lost out to the ‘Billie Jean’ video. Bonnie Tyler Read Quote
When I was young, I used to wear a lot of wigs, and I was running on stage at a gig and tripped over and it fell off. It was in the 1970s, and Swansea were doing really well in the league, and most of the team were there. I almost died, but I picked it up, put it back on my head and carried on.
