Bonnie Tyler's health has been worrying fans in recent days after she was admitted to a hospital in Portugal for emergency surgery. The famous Welsh singer, known for hits like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero," is currently recovering in a hospital in Faro, where she is being treated for complications from a ruptured appendix.
As previously reported by foreign media, the 74-year-old music star was placed in an induced coma after the surgery to allow her body to recover more easily. Her team first spoke out on May 6, confirming that the surgery was successful.
New details now reveal that the singer's health problems began much earlier. A longtime friend of the singer, Algarve entrepreneur Liberto Mealha, told Portugal's Correio da Manha that Boni complained of severe pain back in March during a stay in London.
According to him, she then traveled to the Algarve, where the pain became even more intense. Although the initial medical examinations showed no serious problems, the situation soon became complicated.
"Two days later she went to a private hospital, from where she was urgently transferred to a hospital in Faro because her appendix had ruptured and she needed emergency surgery," Mealha said.
The singer is accompanied by her husband, Robert Sullivan, who, according to their friend, is especially grateful to the medical staff in Portugal.
"He is extremely grateful to the doctors and nurses at Faro Hospital and is convinced that Boni would not have survived if she had remained in the United Kingdom," Mealha said.
