A close friend of Bonnie Tyler has provided a concerning update after the star reportedly had to be “resuscitated after going into cardiac arrest.”
Medical staff attempted to bring her out of an induced coma at a Portuguese hospital after the 74-year-old fell ill following life-saving surgery for a ruptured appendix. It has been reported that the cardiac arrest occurred during this process.
The friend, whose daughter has Bonnie as her godmother, said, “I could not see her because she’s in intensive care, but we are praying for better news. The doctors are positive with the situation, but so far it’s not that good.”
Bonnie’s team had previously disclosed she was placed in an induced coma to assist her recovery.
A spokesperson for the Welsh singer released a statement, saying, “Bonnie has been put into an induced coma by her doctors to aid her recovery. We know that you all wish her well and ask for privacy at this difficult time, please. We will issue a further statement when we are able to.”
Earlier this week, a representative for Bonnie also indicated she was “recuperating well” and a swift recovery seemed likely – before her condition sadly worsened once more.
The statement, released by one of her spokespersons, read, “We are very sorry to announce that Bonnie has been admitted to hospital in Faro, Portugal, where she has a home, for emergency intestinal surgery.
“The surgery went well, and she is now recuperating. We know that all of her family, friends, and fans will be concerned about this news and will be wishing her well for a full and swift recovery.”
Bonnie divides her time between her South Wales residence and her Faro, Portugal, home, having developed a deep affection for the country.
She has been candid about her health over the years, recently disclosing that her knees have been her primary medical concern.
“I’m still rocking on that stage with my wonderful band, and if you’ve got your health, you’ve got everything. I do home Pilates, only 20 minutes a day – it’s something I can do in my hotel rooms,” she remarked regarding her fitness routine.
“I have had problems with my knees; I didn’t have new knees, I had what they call washouts [a surgical knee procedure], which turned out to be very successful. So, hopefully that will last for a long time.”
