Bonnie Tyler wakes from coma after cardiac arrest but remains very unwell

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer Bonnie Tyler has woken up from her coma a month after going into cardiac arrest, but still remains “very unwell.”

On June 15, Tyler’s team announced on her official website that she is no longer in her medically induced coma, but remains in the hospital in Portugal.

“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,” the statement said.

Her team announced that any upcoming shows will be canceled and hopefully, the shows scheduled in the fall will still take place.

The statement shared that they are thankful for the well-wishes being sent Tyler’s way, but the family is still asking for privacy during this time. “Bonnie’s family continue to ask for privacy and promise that we will issue further updates as soon as there are significant developments to share,” the statement concluded.

“Bonnie is no longer in a coma but remains very unwell and in intensive care in hospital in Portugal.”

In May, Tyler’s website announced that she was rushed to a hospital in Portugal for emergency surgery. It was later shared that she was induced into a coma.

Tyler, born Gaynor Hopkins, broke out in the music industry in 1976 with the release of her hit song, “Lost In France,” later becoming a global superstar with hits like “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding Out for a Hero.”

She remained popular in Europe throughout the 1990s and later competed in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013, representing the U.K. with the song, “Believe In Me.” She continued to perform throughout the 2020s, and is on the Jubilee Tour, celebrating 50 years since her start in the music industry.

“Touring keeps me going. I consider myself a working-class girl, and I’ve never stopped working,” she told The Times in January 2025. “Moving my parents from the council house where I was brought up to a cottage in Mumbles is the thing I’m most proud of, but it does feel like an achievement to still be wanted by audiences at my age. I’m pretty energetic.”

Although her most iconic songs were released in the 1980s, they continue to be relevant today, with “Total Eclipse of the Heart” becoming the unofficial anthem for when there is a solar or lunar eclipse.

“I still get excited when I hear the song on the radio,” she told “Good Morning America” in April 2024. “Every time the eclipse comes, everyone all over the world, they play ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart,’ and I never get tired of singing it.”

Tyler is married to former Olympic judo competitor and real estate developer Robert Sullivan and has been since July 1973. The couple have no children together and split their time between their homes in Wales and Portugal.
