‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’ Singer Wakes Up From Coma

Bonnie Tyler, a Welsh singer and songwriter, woke up from her medically induced coma on June 15, but she “remains very unwell” according to her official website, and she is in intensive care in Faro, Portugal. 

“Although her condition is improving it is a slow process,” her website said. “Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time.”

The 75-year-old singer was rushed to the hospital on April 30, The U.S. Sun reported. Tyler was then put into a medically induced coma last month after complications from emergency intestinal surgery for severe tears in her bowels. She went into cardiac arrest when doctors tried to bring her out of the coma a few weeks ago. 

“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,” her team said.

Tyler is known for her number one power ballad, “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” which was released in 1983 and her other popular hit, “Holding Out for a Hero.” Tyler’s 2026 Jubilee tour kicked off on May 22, but her upcoming tour dates have either been canceled or postponed until next year as she recovers. 

“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.”
