Pop singer Bonnie Tyler dies aged 75: “You took it by the balls, Bonnie!”

► Musician Suzi Quatro pays tribute to her friend and singer Bonnie Tyler, who has died at the age of 75. Quatro says the 80s pop star, who was behind timeless classics like 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' and 'Holding Out for Hero’, “left the world with a wonderful soundtrack for the heart.” She says: “Bonnie took it by the balls, and Bonnie knows what I mean. If she’s listening, which I know she is, you took it by the balls Bonnie.” The singer, whose real name is Gaynor Hopkins, has died just months after she was treated in intensive care, after being placed in an induced coma following emergency intestinal surgery. Her family said in a statement published on the singer’s official website: “Bonnie’s family and team are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly passed away last night in hospital in Portugal as a result of the illness that she was being treated for." #BonnieTyler ► Have you subscribed to 5 News?: http://bit.ly/5NewsSub ► Follow 5 News on Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news - https://twitter.com/5_News Message us on Facebook to share your opinion - https://www.facebook.com/c5News See our latest pictures and videos on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/c5news/ ► About 5 News: We bring you the stories that matter to you, from around the world and across the UK. 🎥 We post daily playlists with the biggest news of the day, interviews, special reports and investigations. 📺 Catch us on TV on Channel 5 every weekday 5-6pm 📱 Get in touch with us on WhatsApp at +44 7555 500 501 🎧 Listen to "How Did We Get Here?
