Overview

  • The singer's family confirmed on Monday that Bonnie Tyler is no longer in a medically induced coma but remains very unwell and is being treated in intensive care in Faro, Portugal.
  • Her team said the condition is improving only slowly and that doctors are confident she can make a good recovery but that it will take time.
  • Reports say Tyler underwent emergency intestinal surgery in May after developing intense abdominal pain and that complications led to the coma; the family has not released detailed medical records.
  • All scheduled shows through the end of August have been cancelled or postponed, with promoters and fans offered rescheduling or refunds and organisers still hopeful some autumn dates can go ahead.
  • Tyler, 75, has thanked fans for their support and her family has asked for privacy while condemning lurid or unverified rumours and promising updates only for major developments.
