Bonnie, 75, is expected to make a full recovery, according to her representative, “Bonnie is no longer in a coma, but remains seriously ill.” This comes as Bonnie’s pal offered an update following her deteriorating health.
The Welsh singer was in an induced coma from early May, according to a report from Entertainment Weekly.
