Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler was put into an ‘induced coma’ following emergency surgery after her appendix burst. The 74-year-old, best known for the 1983 tune Total Eclipse of the Heart, underwent an intestinal operation at a hospital in Faro, Portugal, having been rushed in with a perforated intestine late last month. A statement on her website previously 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.’While Tyler’s condition was stable yesterday, according to local media, she deteriorated in the later hours. Portuguese daily paper Correio da Manha said she was ‘unconscious’ and breathing via a ventilator.
