Her team announced the cancellation of upcoming shows, with hopes to proceed with scheduled performances in the fall. They expressed gratitude for fans’ support but requested privacy during her recovery.
In May, Tyler was hospitalized in Portugal for emergency intestinal surgery, which led to her being placed in a medically induced coma. The singer, whose real name is Gaynor Hopkins, rose to fame in 1976 with “Lost In France.” Hits like “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding Out for a Hero” followed. She has maintained popularity, especially in Europe.
Tyler represented the U.K. in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013 and continued to tour, celebrating 50 years in the music industry. Despite her health scare, she remains enthusiastic about performing. She expressed pride in her career and continued connection with audiences.
Bonnie Tyler is married to Robert Sullivan, a former Olympic judo competitor and real estate developer. They have been together since 1973 and divide their time between Wales and Portugal.
