Singer Bonnie Tyler is no longer in a coma but remains \u201cvery unwell\u201d in intensive care, an update on her official website says.<\/p>\n

The gravelly voiced, Grammy-nominated pop star, 75, was hospitalized last month in Faro, Portugal, where she lives, for emergency intestinal surgery. She was later placed in an induced coma.<\/p>\n

She is no longer in a coma and \u201calthough 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,\u201d the statement posted Monday said.<\/p>\n

Tyler shows scheduled through August were canceled or postponed, but \u201cwe are still hopeful that our shows in the autumn will go ahead,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

Tyler is best known for the chart-topping 1980s power ballad \u201cTotal Eclipse of the Heart,\u201d an irresistibly bombastic karaoke favourite that gains new fans every time there is a solar or lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n

The coal miner\u2019s daughter from Wales had an earlier hit in 1978 with \u201cIt\u2019s a Heartache\u201d before winning a place in pop history with \u201cTotal Eclipse of the Heart,\u201d written by Meat Loaf\u2019s producer and songwriter, Jim Steinman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: Bonnie Tyler performs in Malmo, Sweden, in 2013.Alastair Grant\/The Associated Press Singer Bonnie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":741381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[901,888,902,879,877,903,49,48,876,895,896,891,878,875,361,46,549,75,295,894,887,914,880,881,893,889,890,884,904,885,909,910,912,907,911,905,908,882,898,899,714,897,906,865,61,900,892,886,883,913],"class_list":["post-741380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-alberta","tag-arts-news","tag-bc","tag-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news-video","tag-british-columbia","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canada-news","tag-canada-sports","tag-canada-sports-news","tag-canada-trafficcanada-weather","tag-canadian-breaking-news","tag-canadian-news","tag-celebrities","tag-economy","tag-education","tag-entertainment","tag-environment","tag-federal-government","tag-foreign-news","tag-globe-and-mail","tag-globe-and-mail-breaking-news","tag-globe-and-mail-canada-news","tag-government","tag-life-news","tag-lifestyle","tag-local-news","tag-manitoba","tag-national-news","tag-new-brunswick","tag-newfoundland-and-labrador","tag-northwest-territories","tag-nova-scotia","tag-nunavut","tag-ontario","tag-pei","tag-photos","tag-political-news","tag-political-opinion","tag-politics","tag-politics-news","tag-quebec","tag-sports-news","tag-technology","tag-travel","tag-trudeau","tag-us-news","tag-world-news","tag-yukon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/741381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
