Bonnie Tyler is slowly recovering after the serious health issue that led to her emergency hospitalization in Portugal. The 75-year-old Welsh singer has come out of the medically induced coma she had been kept in following surgery last month, but remains in intensive care and her condition still requires close monitoring.
The update came from the artist's family via a statement posted on official channels. “Bonnie's family and team want to update everyone on her recovery. Bonnie is no longer in a coma, but she remains very weak and in intensive care at a hospital in Portugal. While her condition is improving, it's a slow process”, the statement reads. Doctors, however, remain cautiously optimistic: “Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery, but it will take time”.
Due to the lengthy recovery, all live commitments planned for the summer have been cancelled or postponed to 2027. The family clarified that the decision covers all shows scheduled through the end of August, adding: “At the moment we still hope our autumn shows will go ahead”.
Bonnie Tyler, born Gaynor Hopkins, is one of the most recognizable voices in international pop-rock, best known for hits such as “It's A Heartache”, “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” and “Holding Out For A Hero”, and is one of the longtime muses of the late composer Jim Steinman, who produced her entire LP “Faster Than The Speed Of Night” (1983) and wrote several songs for her, including her biggest hit, “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”.
