Bonnie Tyler now out of coma but remains in intensive care in Portugal

Welsh pop star Bonnie Tyler is no longer in a coma but remains “very unwell” in intensive care at a hospital near her home in Faro, Portugal . The 75-year-old singer received emergency intestinal surgery in May and was placed in an induced coma to aid her recovery. A statement on her official website said that although her condition was improving and doctors remain confident she will recover, it was nonetheless a slow process. All her remaining shows due to take place this summer have been cancelled, the statement said, but it is hoped some dates in the autumn could go ahead. The update on her recovery came after the singer’s family had expressed distress over the “lurid and untrue rumours” circulating about her health. “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,” the statement said. “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.” The spokesperson apologised for “the disappointment that this will cause” and hoped fans would “understand and bear with us in these difficult circumstances”. …
