Music Icon Placed Into Induced Coma Following Emergency Surgery

Bonnie Tyler’s medical situation has taken another turn. She has been placed into an induced coma after deteriorating following surgery.

Bonnie Tyler’s medical situation has taken another turn. The 74-year-old music icon has now been placed into an induced coma after her health deteriorated on Thursday, May 7. Tyler recently underwent emergency bowel surgery in Portugal.

The beloved singer had previously been rushed to Faro Hospital with a perforated intestine. According to Correio da Manha, an established local news outlet, Tyler is “unconscious” and needs a ventilator to help with her breathing.

“Bonnie Tyler is in an induced coma after several days at Faro Hospital following intestinal surgery,” Correio Da Manha reports. “According to what we have learned, the singer is unconscious and connected to a breathing ventilator in the intensive care unit.”

Unfortunately, given Tyler’s situation, there is likely no way of predicting how her current situation will evolve in the coming hours or days. Bonnie was first admitted to the hospital on April 30. The initial reports following her surgery were that everything had gone well and according to plan.

A Spokesperson for Bonnie Tyler Recently Released a Statement

Following the news of Tyler’s surgery, a spokesperson posted a statement to the singer’s website.

“We are very sorry to announce that Bonnie has been admitted to the hospital in Faro, Portugal, where she has a home, for emergency intestinal surgery,” the statement read. “The surgery went well, and she is now recuperating.”

The statement then continued, “We know that all of her family, friends, and fans will be concerned about this news and will be wishing her well for a full and swift recovery.”

Unfortunately, Tyler has also been dealing with other health issues, too. She recently spoke about pain in her knees.

“I’m fit enough at the moment, touch wood, and I’m really enjoying doing the shows,” she told Hello! magazine. “I’m still rocking on that stage with my wonderful band, and if you’ve got your health, you’ve got everything. I do home Pilates, only 20 minutes a day – it’s something I can do in my hotel rooms.”

Tyler’s fans will undoubtedly be hoping that she makes a full recovery. After all, many of them were likely hoping to see her when she embarked on her European tour later this year.
