Singer Bonnie Tyler suffered a cardiac arrest amid a health battle that left her in an induced coma, according to the Portuguese press. The Welsh star had to be resuscitated at Faro Hospital in the Algarve, and she will remain in a coma as doctors treat an infection, Correio da Manha reported. The Total Eclipse of the Heart singer had reportedly begun to feel unwell in the U.K. After doctors found nothing she flew to Portugal, where she has a second home, and began to suffer severe abdominal pain. After two days in bed, her husband, Robert Sullivan, rushed her to a private hospital, and from there she was transferred to Faro Hospital, where the 74-year-old underwent treatment for a burst appendix. On Wednesday, a statement on her official Facebook was released, which said, “We are very sorry to announce that Bonnie was admitted to a hospital in Faro, Portugal, where she owns a home, for emergency intestinal surgery. The surgery went well, and she is already recovering.” Then, two days later, a follow-up statement confirmed that the ‘Holding Out For A Hero’ singer had “been put into an induced coma by her doctors to aid her recovery.” The Daily Beast has reached out to her reps for comment.
