Pro skater Chris Cole joined many fans in remembering Bonnie Tyler after news of the legendary singer's passing.
The Welsh music icon, whose powerful voice made songs like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero" famous around the world, died at the age of 75.
Her family and representatives confirmed that she passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday evening at a hospital in Portugal while receiving treatment for an illness.
Following the news, Cole shared a simple message that spoke volumes about how much Tyler's music meant to him.
“If anyone needs me, I’ll be behind the wall of this sound pouring from my house.”
The post did not include anything else, but fans quickly understood what he meant. It was a quiet way of saying he planned to spend the day listening to Tyler's music and remembering everything she gave to generations of listeners.
Tyler's career stretched across several decades and produced some of the biggest songs of the 1980s. Her distinctive voice helped make both songs instantly recognizable.
According to her family, Tyler had been receiving treatment for an illness.
Earlier this year, she underwent emergency intestinal surgery in Faro, Portugal, and was placed in an induced coma as part of her recovery.
Although she had shown signs of improvement, her family confirmed that she passed away unexpectedly.
Born and raised in Skewen, South Wales, Tyler rose from humble beginnings to become one of the country's most successful recording artists.
Cole's post joined the many messages shared online by musicians, skaters, and fans who grew up with Tyler's music.
Sometimes a few words are enough to express how much an artist meant, and his tribute reflected the feeling shared by many who will be spending time revisiting her classic songs.
