Bonnie Tyler Can ‘Never Get Tired’ of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ — Even as It Plays on Repeat During an Eclipse

“Every time the eclipse comes around, it’s a bit crazy,” the Welsh singer said of the increase in popularity around her 1983 hit

Every now and then there’s an eclipse and suddenly Bonnie Tyler‘s biggest hit is everywhere — but she can’t help but appreciate it.

Ahead of this year’s total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, the Welsh singer, 72, reflected on the enduring success of her 1983 classic “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” which increases in popularity around the time of an astronomical event.

The ’80s icon told Good Morning America that she still gets “excited” when the song comes on the radio, but especially feels its celestial pull around the time of an eclipse.

She said, “Every time the eclipse comes, everyone all over the world, they play ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ and I never get tired of singing it.”
