Bonnie Tyler Will Sing ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’ During The Solar Eclipse

To prepare, Tyler and DNCE will rehearse for the day prior. Tyler also always works with her voice coach on vocal exercises to prep for a show. ” So if anybody hears strange noises coming from my cabin while aboard ship, they’ll know what it is,” she warned.

The eclipse of the sun lasts 2 minutes and 40 seconds, I’m told,” Tyler elaborated. “Unlike my song. It had to be chopped about because it was so long. I never thought it would be played on the radio, in the beginning.”

In fact, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” almost never happened at all. After finding success in the U.S. with 1978 ballad “It’s a Heartache,” Tyler sought to change tacks and work with the songwriter behind Meat Loaf, Jim Steinman.

“The A&R guy said, ‘Are you crazy? He’s never going to work with you.’ And I said, ‘Well, ask him!’ You don’t get until you ask,” Tyler recalled. ” So they asked him, and… I went over to meet him, and within three weeks he’d finished writing the song for me, ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart,’ that he’d started writing many years ago. And he finished it off and gave it to me to sing. I wouldn’t have had this hit record without bloody asking. And I got it.”
