The Total Eclipse of the Heart singer's last studio recording, Love, Light and Peace, will be released as a Christmas single on 13 November 2026.

Tyler was born in a Neath council house where she grew up with a love of music before being discovered by talent scout Roger Bell in a Swansea club.
After finding fame she was dubbed "the female Rod Stewart" for her husky vocals, and launched a career that spanned 50 years.
In August, fans travelled to Swansea to line the streets as a celebration of life service was held for Tyler at Swansea Minster.
"The only time she ever had off was during Covid, and even then she was still on Zoom doing interviews all the time," said Sullivan.
