            Tribute to Bonnie Tyler (United Kingdom 2013):  Shortly after last week's edition of Radio International - The Ultimate Eurovision Experience came off air on 08 Jul 2026 the Eurovision Community received the sad news that Bonnie Tyler suddenly passed away after a short illness while in Portugal. Bonnie Tyler represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013 coming 19th with the song "Believe in me". 
            Bonnie Tyler had six hits that made the Top 40 charts in the UK and around the world, such as "Lost in France" (9, 1976), "More than a Lover" (27, 1977), "It's a Heartache" (4, 1977), "Married Men" (35, 1979) and "Holding out for a Hero" (2, 1985) among others. But her biggest worldwide hit was "Total Eclipse of the Heart" which reached Number 1 in Feb 1983 which even was covered by Eurovision Royalty Dame Nicki French in 1995 when her cover of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" came 5th in the UK Charts. Nicki French represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000 with the song "Don't play that song again" coming 16th.

            Due to the sad news of Bonnie's passing away Radio International broadcasts a special tribute on the show this week showcasing her amazing career including her time at the Eurovision Song Contest.
