A posthumous Christmas single from Bonnie Tyler, titled "Love, Light and Peace," was released on Friday. The track marks the popular Welsh singer's final studio recording.
Tyler, who was born Gaynor Hopkins, died in July at the age of 75 following emergency intestinal surgery earlier this year. The festive song features sleigh bells, angels, and an ad-libbed farewell, "To all, goodnight."
The lyrics, which include lines such as "Blessed are the ones who still live on inside our hearts," have taken on new meaning following her death. The song was written by Chrissie Hammond and Grammy-winner Terry Britten, who also played guitar on Tyler's debut album in 1977.
Tyler's husband of over 50 years, Robert Sullivan, had previously stated that she would have wanted her fans to hear the music she was working on, and he gave his blessing for the song's release.
