Bonnie Tyler has woken up from a coma.
The 75-year-old “Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer was placed in a medically induced coma in Faro, Portugal back in May, and just woke up from the coma, according to reports on Monday (June 15).
She remains “seriously ill” and in intensive care according to her team, and “although her condition is improving, the recovery process is slow.”
“Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time,” they added.
She was previously admitted to a hospital in Faro for emergency intestinal surgery, followed by an induced coma to aid in her recovery after complications due to the surgery.
Bonnie reportedly had “intense abdominal pain shortly after arriving in Portugal, where she has a second home, following inconclusive tests in London.”
Local media in Portugal also claimed that Bonnie went into cardiac arrest after an initial attempt to bring her out of the coma weeks ago, via Page Six.
Bonnie is best known for her songs “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man).”

Bonnie’s family and team would like to update everyone on how she is progressing with her recovery.
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. Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time.
As such we are sorry to tell everyone that we will be cancelling, or postponing until next year where possible, all of our remaining shows this summer. This will affect every current show until the end of August. At present we are still hopeful that our shows in the autumn will go ahead.
We apologise to all of Bonnie’s fans and to our promoter partners for the disappointment that this will cause but trust that you will understand and bear with us in these difficult circumstances. We hope to see you next year instead.
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.
