Bonnie Tyler is out of a coma and on the road to recovery, her family have said in an update into the singer's health.
The 75-year-old Welsh icon, who has a home in Portugal, was rushed into hospital for emergency surgery in April after suffering a tear in her bowel. Following complications, Bonnie was then placed into an induced coma. It was also reported the Total Eclipse of the Heart singer had to be resuscitated by doctors, with fans growing concerned about her health.
Now, her team have said in a welcome update she is no longer in a coma with doctors feeling positive she will make a recovery.
As she was due to go on tour this summer, her team said they have made the decision to cancel, or postpone, all the dates up until the end of August.
They said in an update on June 15: 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.
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.
We apologise to all of Bonnie’s fans and to our promoter partners for the disappointment that this will cause but trust that you will understand and bear with us in these difficult circumstances. We hope to see you next year instead.
They continued: 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.
Bonnie’s family continue to ask for privacy and promise that we will issue further updates as soon as there are significant developments to share.
