Bonnie Tyler awarded an MBE at Queen Elizabeth’s birthday
The 70-year-old singer, whose real name is Gaynor Sullivan, has been named in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list for her services to music.
She said in a statement to the PA News agency: “I am truly honoured to be awarded an MBE and especially so in Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year, which makes this even more special.
“This honour just goes to show that anyone from any background can become a success, and be recognised by our wonderful country, if they put their minds and efforts into what they do.
“I hope that my honour may in some small way motivate others to give their best, you really never know what wonderful things may come to you if you do.
“I’m just a girl from a small town in Wales who just loves to sing, so to be recognized for that in this way is very significant to me and my family and friends.”
