BARCELONA, May 9 (Bernama-dpa) -- British singer Bonnie Tyler is in an induced coma as she recovers from emergency surgery for a perforated intestine in Portugal, reported German news agency dpa.
A statement published on her website confirmed that the induced coma was to “aid her recovery,” it said on Friday.
Tyler, 74, was operated on in a hospital in Faro, Portugal. The surgery went well and she was recovering but her condition then deteriorated due to an infection, Portuguese newspapers Público and Correio da Manha reported.
The statement on Tyler’s website thanks fans for "the incredible outpouring of love and well wishes." It also asks for “privacy at this difficult time,” stating, “We will issue a further statement when we are able to.”
Tyler plans a series of concerts in Europe later this year. “All plans therefore remain unchanged for the time being until we receive reliable first-hand information,” the PR agency responsible for concerts planned in Germany told dpa in response to a query.
