Bonnie Tyler has awoken from a medically induced coma — though she remains “seriously ill.”
On Monday, the singer’s team announced that “although her condition is improving, the recovery process is slow.”
Tyler is in intensive care in Faro, Portugal.
Last month, the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” crooner, 75, was placed in a medically induced coma after being rushed to the hospital.
“Bonnie has been put into an induced coma by her Doctors to aid her recovery. We know that you all wish her well and ask for privacy at this difficult time, please,” a statement from Tyler’s manager read at the time.
Days earlier, a statement was released sharing that Tyler had “been admitted to hospital in Faro, Portugal, where she has a home, for emergency intestinal surgery.
“The surgery went well, and she is now recuperating.”
According to The Sun, in April, Tyler began to experience “intense abdominal pain shortly after arriving in Portugal, where she has a second home, following inconclusive tests in London.”
She was rushed to the hospital with a serious tear in her bowel and had to undergo emergency surgery.
The following month, Tyler was placed in an induced coma due to complications from the surgery.
Portuguese media claimed Tyler went into cardiac arrest when doctors first attempted to bring her out of the coma several weeks ago.
All of the performer’s planned concerts until the end of August have been canceled.
Her management released a statement thanking fans for their support.
It said, “We would like to thank everyone for the tremendous sympathy and support from around the world.”
Tyler is best known for her song “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” along with other top ten hits like “It’s a Heartache” and “Holding Out For A Hero.”
In March, Tyler said she was confident in her health in an interview with Hello! magazine.
“I’m fit enough at the moment, touch wood, and I’m really enjoying doing the shows,” Tyler told the outlet at the time.
