Bonnie Tyler's Health Update
Welsh pop star Bonnie Tyler is no longer in a coma but remains “very unwell” in intensive care at a hospital near her home in Faro, Portugal.
The Road to Recovery
The 75-year-old singer received emergency intestinal surgery in May and was placed in an induced coma to aid her recovery. A statement on her official website said that although her condition was improving and doctors remain confident she will recover, it was nonetheless a slow process.
Impact on Upcoming Shows
All her remaining shows due to take place this summer have been cancelled, the statement said, but it is hoped some dates in the autumn could go ahead. The update on her recovery came after the singer’s family had expressed distress over the “lurid and untrue rumours” circulating about her health.
A Message from the Family
“Bonnie is no longer in a coma but remains very unwell and in intensive care in hospital in Portugal. Although her condition is improving it is a slow process,” the statement said. “Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time.
Future Plans
Summer shows: cancelled
Autumn shows: hopefully to go ahead
Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on 17 December: still on
