He described her as a “global iconic superstar” who not only never forgot her roots, but was fiercely proud of them.
He said the singer was “a fantastic ambassador for Swansea and Wales and told everyone how wonderful it was”.
Tyler’s manager Matthew Davies spoke of the singer’s humble personality, saying she was “always a star but never a diva”.
The singer achieved international fame in the 1980s with the release of Total Eclipse Of The Heart, which shot to the top of the charts in the UK and the US.
Faster Than The Speed Of Night, the album featuring the track, was also a chart-topping success and landed the singer her only UK number one album.
Recognisable for her husky voice, Tyler released many other hits, including Holding out for a Hero, It’s a Heartache and If you were a Woman (And I Was A Man).
