Bonnie Tyler has been booked to sing her epic hit ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ on a cruise ship, during the actual eclipse. Yup, that’s what it’s all come down to.
This has to be the biggest novelty booking of all time, considering the cruise is actually a week-long trek named Royal Caribbean’s Total Eclipse Cruise, its course charted to hit the eclipse during its totality. Time reports the ship will be positioned scientifically for the maximum eclipse background to Tyler’s performance.
“The eclipse of the sun lasts two minutes and 40 seconds, I’m told”, says Tyler. “Unlike my song. It had to be chopped about because it was so long.”
For those tempted to catch Tyler, the Total Eclipse Cruise leaves Orlando on August 20.
