4. The punnet of strawberries that changed pop history forever

Her recovery involved complete vocal rest. However, one day she was going to visit her brother in hospital and on the way, realised that she had forgotten her gift of some strawberries.
...
“I was so frustrated that I’d have to drive all the way back home, I let out an ‘Oh no!’ scream.”

Her consultant told her there had been permanent damage. But what could have ended her career, actually turned out to be a blessing.

Tyler was left with a new - more husky - voice, which she came to love. In particular the emotional depth it gave her vocal performances. She even joked that it made her sound like a female Rod Stewart.
