Bonnie Tyler in induced coma after emergency surgery in Portugal

Bonnie Tyler, the 74-year-old singer from Skewen, Wales, had to have emergency surgery for her intestines on Wednesday at a hospital near her home in Faro, Portugal. A spokesperson has indicated that she is currently in an induced coma to aid her recovery and has asked for privacy during this time. Born Gaynor Hopkins, she grew up in a council house in Neath and was discovered by talent scout Roger Bell at a Swansea club, leading to her first single, "Lost in France," in 1977. Her famous song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" hit the UK charts for two weeks in 1983 and spent four weeks in the US, eventually surpassing one billion streams on Spotify. She earned Grammy nominations for this track, the album "Faster Than the Speed of Night," and the single "Here She Comes." In 2013, she represented the UK at Eurovision, finishing 19th, and received an MBE in 2023.
