Bonnie Tyler Was In an Induced Coma
In early May, a representative for the singer told Entertainment Weekly that Tyler was in an induced coma.
"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," manager Matt Davis told EW. "We will issue a further statement when we are able to."
That announcement followed their statement that the singer had undergone emergency surgery in Portugal and was recovering.
"We are very sorry to announce that Bonnie has been admitted to hospital in Faro, Portugal, where she has a home, for emergency intestinal surgery," said a statement published to her website. "The surgery went well and she is now recuperating."
The statement 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."
Additional reports shared that Tyler had gone into cardiac arrest after her doctors attempted to bring her out of the precautionary coma.
