'I need surgery but I'll be up and rocking soon'

It's been 40 years since legendary 80s singer Bonnie Tyler MBE released her iconic track Total Eclipse Of The Heart, but the star admits she still loves belting it out all these years later.

"Everyone always says, 'You must get fed up singing it, but honestly I don't. I absolutely love it. I'm very proud of that song," Bonnie tells OK! during our exclusive chat.

"I had one of the first videos on MTV, it was nominated for a Grammy and now it's having its time all over again on TikTok with a remake by DJ Majestic. It's had over a billion views on YouTube - can you believe that?"

To mark the song's milestone, Bonnie, 72, has gone on a European tour, performing 29 concerts in eight countries. When she speaks to OK!, she has already notched up 15 shows, but is on a forced break to undergo surgery on her knee.

"The tour has been awesome so far, but I have to have keyhole surgery on my knee. It's from an old skiing accident," the Welsh star explains.

"I damaged the meniscus and there are some small fragments of bone that will have to be cleaned out. But I'm told I could be up and rocking again in three weeks. It's not a big operation, I'll be back on tour very, very soon."

As well as making sure she stays physically fit to meet the demands of regularly performing on stage, Bonnie tells us she keeps youthful with Botox procedures every six months, but says she has now decided to ease up on the treatment after a less-than-satisfactory result.

"I still have Botox. I used to have it in my crow's feet and in my forehead. But last time my eyebrows lifted too much, so I won't be having it in my forehead any more, just my crow's feet. I didn't like it. I don't have anything else done - I don't think I need it."
