Bonnie Tyler is recovering after undergoing emergency surgery in Portugal.
The 74-year-old “Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer has a home near Faro in the Algarve.
A statement on her official website reads: “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.”
Tyler, who was awarded an MBE in 2023, has said she will never grow tired of performing her signature hit.
After accepting her MBE at Windsor Castle, Tyler said: “Lots of people ask me aren’t you fed up of singing it, but there is no way, I love it and everybody does, it is a karaoke classic.”
She added that she never expected to be awarded an MBE, but did not think twice about accepting.
She said: “I never ever thought I would have something like this, my mother and father would be so proud.
“To be nominated for a Grammy was wonderful, but to be given an MBE for something I absolutely love doing is a highlight of my career.”
The musician, born Gaynor Sullivan in Skewen, Wales, has been an ambassador for the Prince of Wales trust for several years.
She said she would not expect the prince to be a fan of her music, but recalled a “lovely gesture” from their first meeting.
She added: “When I did a concert in Cardiff for the Queen’s Jubilee, the Prince of Wales came down with Catherine and the children and he said he’d played them some of my music on the way down so that they would know who they were meeting.”
As the Prince of Wales awarded Tyler her MBE, she said they had a lovely conversation about her career in music.
She said: “What I loved about it is Prince William just had this big smile, he asked me about touring and said it was nice to see me again.”
Tyler has released more than 15 albums across five decades of work in the music industry, and said at the time that she has no plans for slowing down.
“I’ve been so very lucky in my life to work with some of the best producers and songwriters in the world,” she said.
“Just finished a massive tour of Brazil and South America, I do so much work across the world, and I get recognised a lot more in other countries.”
