PORTUGAL – Singer Bonnie Tyler has emerged from a medically induced coma following emergency surgery last month, according to her family.

Tyler (75), known for hits “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding out for a hero”, was placed in a coma at a hospital in Faro, Portugal, in May to aid her recovery.

A statement from her team and family posted on her website on Monday said she is “no longer in a coma but remains very unwell and in intensive care” in Portugal.

“Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time,” the statement said.

All planned concerts until the end of August will be cancelled or postponed as a result.

Tyler had been scheduled to perform this year in Germany and Austria and at a festival in Britain.

The family thanked fans for their “outpouring of love”, saying Tyler was aware of the support.

The Welsh star shot to fame in the 1970s with hits including “Lost in France” and “It’s a heartache”.

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” later topped the charts in both Britain and the United States.

“Holding out for a hero” was released in 1984 and featured on the soundtrack to the successful box office film “Footloose”.
