Bonnie Tyler comes out of a coma but is still “very sick”

Bonnie Tyler has emerged from the induced coma in which she has been admitted since the end of May. The news has been confirmed by her team through a statement published on the singer’s official website, which indicates that the Welsh artist, 75, remains in the ICU of a hospital in Portugal and continues to be “very ill”, although her condition is improving little by little. «Bonnie is no longer in a coma, but remains very ill and in intensive care. Although his condition is improving, it is a slow process,” the text indicates.

The author of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ was urgently hospitalized in Faro after undergoing an emergency intestinal operation last May. After the intervention, the doctors decided to induce a coma to promote his recovery. According to his team, doctors are confident that he can recover satisfactorily, although the process will be long.

His health will force him to cancel or postpone the concerts he had planned this summer. For now, Tyler’s office does not rule out that some fall commitments could be maintained, always depending on how his recovery evolves over the coming months.
