‘A Welsh icon’ and ‘one of a kind’ – tributes as singer Bonnie Tyler dies aged 75

Fellow singer Suzi Quatro says Tyler ‘did it for the audience’published at

Singer and musician Suzi Quatro, known for number one hits Can the Can and Devil Gate Drive, says Bonnie Tyler clearly made her music “for the audience”.

Quatro tells BBC Radio 4’s World at One programme: “She did love life, but where we really connected, her and I, is we both…love what we do. It shines out, you can’t fool an audience.

“She did it for the audience.”

Quatro adds she has done “many, many shows” with her friend Tyler, especially in Germany.

“We bonded from day one because we’re both Geminis,” she says, adding Tyler was “fun, intelligent, [had a] wicked sense of humour and a big talent.

“She leaves her music behind and that’s the beautiful thing.”
