Bonnie Tyler “remains seriously ill” but is stable following emergency intestinal surgery, a spokesman for the star has said.<\/p>\n
The Welsh singer, 74, best known for Total Eclipse of the Heart, was put into an induced coma by her doctors to help her recovery.<\/p>\n
She was rushed to a hospital near her home in Faro, Portugal, last week for the surgery.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, a spokesman for the singer said: “As of this morning, Bonnie remains seriously ill but stable in hospital in Faro. However, her doctors are still positive that she will make a full recovery.”<\/p>\n
He added that the family have been distressed by many “lurid and untrue rumours” circulating, adding that they ask for “privacy and decency at this difficult time”. <\/p>\n
The news of her surgery was revealed in an Instagram post on Wednesday last week.<\/p>\n
Tyler, whose real name is Gaynor Hopkins, shot to fame in the 1980s after releasing her number one hit single Total Eclipse of the Heart.<\/p>\n
The Grammy-nominated star went on to release a number of hit songs over the years, including Holding Out for a Hero and If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man).<\/p>\n
Tyler is due to tour Europe later this year to mark 50 years since the release of her 1976 breakthrough hit Lost in France, which entered the charts across Europe.<\/p>\n
