Bonnie Tyler’s Team Gives Health Update After Induced Coma

Doctors are confident that Bonnie Tyler will make a “full recovery” following her recent health issues.

Last week, the chart-topping musician was rushed to a hospital near her home in Faro, Portugal, to undergo an emergency intestinal operation.

Initially, Bonnie’s spokesperson assured fans that the surgery had gone “well” and that she was “recuperating” in hospital.

A day later, another statement was issued, explaining: “Bonnie has been put into an induced coma by her doctors to aid her recovery. We know that you all wish her well and ask for privacy at this difficult time please.

“We will issue a further statement when we are able to.”

On Tuesday, the Holding Out For A Hero singer’s team gave an update on Bonnie’s health to BBC News, which read: “As of this morning, Bonnie remains seriously ill but stable in hospital in Faro, however, her doctors are still positive that she will make a full recovery.

“When there is any further news of Bonnie’s condition, then we will issue another statement.”

Bonnie – whose legal name is Gaynor Hopkins – first shot to fame in the late 1970s thanks to singles like Lost In France and It’s A Heartache.

In the years that followed, she became known for hits like Holding Out For A Hero, the number one single Total Eclipse Of The Heart and a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Have You Ever Seen The Rain?.

Over the course of her music career, Bonnie has released 18 studio albums, most recently in 2021, and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards and three Brit Awards.

The 74-year-old also represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in 201 with her song Believe In Me, and was awarded an MBE by the late Queen Elizabeth II for her services to music in 2022.
