Singer Bonnie Tyler has woken up after being placed in a medically induced coma last month following an emergency hospitalization.
The news was announced in a June 15 update on the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer’s official website, which stated that, although Tyler, 75, is out of her coma, her condition remains very serious.
“Bonnie is no longer in a coma but remains very unwell and in intensive care in hospital in Portugal,” the statement reads. “Although her condition is improving it is a slow process. Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time.”

The statement goes on to explain that she is canceling or postponing all of her currently scheduled performance dates between now and August. In a sign of hope for the singer’s condition, the statement states that, “at present we are still hopeful that our shows in the autumn will go ahead.”
“We would like to thank everyone for the huge outpouring of love and support from all over the world that we have received for Bonnie and want to tell you that she is aware of, and very grateful for, your good wishes,” the statement concludes.
Tyler was previously rushed to a hospital in Faro, Portugal, where she has a home, for emergency intestinal surgery, according to Page Six. Days later, her team announced that the surgery went well but that she was being placed in a medically induced coma to aid in her recovery.
