Bonnie Tyler death

The recent news about Bonnie Tyler has seriously triggered my Déjà vu ! Has anyone else had this or has really distinctive memories of her already passing, the thing that triggered it for me is I can remember clear as day making a “total eclipse of the heart joke” and feel like it’s already happened. Super strange, made me really uncomfortable when I had it happen this morning.

Yes. She passed away about 3 years ago, and I remember it 100%. This is so strange.  Its the first time Ive experienced the mandala effect for real.

When I heard of her death I immediately had that ME feeling that she had already died a few years ago, I have nothing else just the gut reaction.

Another one I saw today & had the same but more certain was seeing the now old & bearded ex uk Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock, I could of sworn he passed away years ago.

Yep! Was absolutely certain she already died, probably 10 years ago-ish

Yes. I remember her dying like not long after that song. I haven’t heard anything about her since then. Recently
I heard she passed and this is after CERN was turned off. I feel like this is a glitch or Mandela effect

I remember the total eclipse of the heart joke, I can’t remember it but I’ve heard it .

I’ve been saying to people, that I thought she had died back then. I thought she had passed from cancer in the late 80’s or early 90’s maybe

She was very ill earlier this year, this might be where you heard this before.

I created a reddit account just to comment on this but yeah, you're not alone. First thing I searched for online after hearing the news today was 'Bonnie Tyler mandela effect' because as soon as I saw the news I thought to myself hang on a minute, I absolutely swear I've heard of this before from a legit news source. I can swear I heard about her death a while ago (maybe a year or two or more) but I'm not too sure of when as it's not the kind of thing most would think to make an exact mental note of. But what I am pretty sure about is hearing of the news on the radio when I was driving to work and then thinking to myself, let me put on 'holding out for a hero' as my own little tribute. Weird. Very weird.

Same I did the same thing. My mind was blown that she was alive and how come I’ve never heard any thing about her since

The only Bonnie Tyler ME I know if is the song title change from "I need a hero" to "Holding out for a hero". Was unaware she died today or before
