Bonnie Tyler's family and team have provided an update on the singer's health, confirming she is no longer in a coma but remains very unwell in intensive care. The 75-year-old Welsh singer, who has a second home in Portugal, was rushed to hospital in April after suffering a tear in her bowel and undergoing emergency surgery. She was subsequently placed in an induced coma following complications and has been hospitalized ever since. Reports also indicated that the 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' singer had to be resuscitated when first brought out of the coma.
Positive signs from doctors
In a statement released on June 15, her team said: 'Bonnie is no longer in a coma but remains very unwell and in intensive care in hospital in Portugal. Although her condition is improving it is a slow process. Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time.'
Tour dates postponed
Due to her health, all shows until the end of August have been cancelled or postponed. The statement added: 'As such we are sorry to tell everyone that we will be cancelling, or postponing until next year where possible, all of our remaining shows this summer. This will affect every current show until the end of August. At present we are still hopeful that our shows in the autumn will go ahead.'
Gratitude for fan support
The team expressed gratitude for the worldwide support, saying: 'We would like to thank everyone for the huge outpouring of love and support from all over the world that we have received for Bonnie and want to tell you that she is aware of, and very grateful for, your good wishes.' They also requested privacy for the family and promised further updates when significant developments occur.
