Bonnie Tyler's final studio recording, "Love, Light and Peace", arrives on 13 November as a Christmas single

Bonnie Tyler's last studio recording will reach listeners on Friday 13 November 2026. "Love, Light and Peace" is a Christmas single, and it is the first new release since the Welsh singer died in July 2026 at the age of 75.

Tyler, from Skewen near Swansea, was the voice behind "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "It's a Heartache", two of the most recognisable rock ballads of the last half century. Her official site announced the single on 31 October, and a pre-save link is live now.

Who made it

The song was written by Chrissie Hammond and Terry Britten. Britten produced it with David Mackay, Tyler's longtime collaborator. Britten's history with her goes back to 1977, when he worked on her debut album, so this single closes a collaboration that runs close to fifty years.

According to her official site, Tyler worked on the new songs at Mackay's studio in the gaps between live dates. The song itself is a seasonal wish, as the title suggests: love, light and peace at Christmas.

What her family has said

Her husband of 53 years, Robert, shared a statement on her website. He described the past year as heartbreaking, said he misses her every day, and said he knows she would want fans to hear these songs. She never stopped working, he said, and she loved singing and her fans.

Where it fits

It follows two independent singles, "Yes I Can" in January 2025 and "Only Love" in March 2026, plus the April 2026 release "One World One Home". It also lands in a crowded season: the race for the UK Christmas number one is decided on 25 December, and a Tyler single will have a lot of goodwill behind it. Whether it charts is a question for December. For now it is a final song, released the way her family and team have said they wanted.

Listen on the official streaming page once it is out on 13 November.
