BONNIE TYLER'S FINAL RECORDING "LOVE, LIGHT AND PEACE" TO BE RELEASED AS CHRISTMAS SINGLE ON NOVEMBER 13

Bonnie Tyler's final studio recording, "Love, Light and Peace", will be released as a Christmas single on Friday, November 13, 2026 — her first posthumous release and a parting gift from the beloved Welsh singer to her fans around the world.

The announcement was made on October 31, 2026, by Tyler's team on social media and on her official website, bonnietyler.com, where the single is available to pre-save now.

The Announcement

According to the announcement, "Love, Light and Peace" will arrive on Friday, November 13, 2026. Fans can pre-save the single now via bonnietyler.com and her official social channels.

It will be her first posthumous release since she passed away on July 8, 2026, aged 75, in Faro, Portugal — reported to be complications from emergency intestinal surgery, after which she was placed in an induced coma.

Her final live performance took place in March 2026 at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Robert Sullivan. Tributes poured in from Cliff Richard, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Suzi Quatro.

The Song

"Love, Light and Peace" was written by Chrissie Hammond and Terry Britten, a 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, and produced by Britten alongside Tyler's longtime collaborator David Mackay.

The pairing is a full-circle moment: Britten first worked with Tyler in 1977, playing guitar on her debut album "The World Starts Tonight" — a reunion nearly 50 years in the making.

The song was recorded last winter, months before her death. It is described as a Christmas song through and through: a wish for love, light and peace on Christmas Day, with sleigh bells and angels in its verses. The refrain goes: "I wish you love, light and peace this Christmas Day." The track closes with an impromptu ad-lib: "To all, goodnight."

The release follows Tyler's independent era, which began after her last record contract expired. She self-released "Yes I Can" in January 2025 and "Only Love" in March 2026 — her last single released in her lifetime.

Her legacy continues to grow: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" has passed a billion streams on Spotify, and she remains in Spotify's top 500 artists with more than 20 million monthly listeners.

The single arrives in the month her European Jubilee Tour — marking 50 years since "Lost in France" entered the UK chart — was due to take place. It joins the 2026 Christmas Number 1 race, with the winner revealed on Christmas Day, December 25, 2026.
