Singer Bonnie Tyler is reportedly in a coma after undergoing emergency surgery for a perforated intestine while in Portugal. Correio da Manhã, a respected local newspaper, reports that she has been in a coma for “several days at Faro Hospital following intestinal surgery” and has been moved to an intensive care ward. A statement published on her personal website on Wednesday announced that she underwent surgery. “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,” the statement said, adding that: “The surgery went well and she is now recuperating.” The Daily Beast has reached out to her representatives for comment on her health status. While the official statement did not provide further details about the reason for her surgery, TMZ reported that in the days preceding, the singer experienced abdominal pain before doctors discovered the intestinal perforation. The singer is most famous for her 1983 hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” She was nominated for three Grammys in the 1980s and also was the voice behind ’70s hits like “Lost in France” and “It’s a Heartache.”
