Overview
- Tyler’s team confirmed Monday that the 75-year-old singer is no longer in a medically induced coma but remains very unwell and in intensive care at a hospital in Faro, Portugal.
- She was admitted after emergency intestinal surgery in late April and was placed in an induced coma in May to aid recovery; induced comas are a controlled medical measure used after major operations or serious complications to help the body heal.
- Portuguese outlets have reported that she suffered a cardiac arrest when clinicians first tried to bring her out of the coma, a claim that the family’s official statement has not independently confirmed.
- Her family and management say doctors are confident she can make a good recovery but stress the process will be slow, and they have cancelled or postponed all scheduled shows through the end of August with hopes some autumn dates can go ahead.
- Tyler’s representatives have thanked fans for support, asked for privacy, and warned against unverified reports while saying a named local friend does not speak for the family and that her husband has been at her bedside.
