Background to the illness

Background to the illness

Her management also stated: "Although her condition is improving, the recovery process is only slow." The doctors remained confident that she would recover well, but it would still take some time.

Cancellation of summer concerts

On the artist's official homepage, it was noted in the days after the procedure that she was in a "serious but stable condition at the hospital in Faro (Portugal); her doctors are, however, still confident that she will make a full recovery."

Cancellation of summer concerts

Due to her health condition, the management cancelled all remaining performances of this summer or postponed them – where possible – to next year. "We must therefore unfortunately announce that we are cancelling all remaining performances of this summer or – where possible – postponing them to next year," the management stated.

What happens next

Concerts from Zwickau to Berlin had originally been planned for the summer. Tyler had wanted to tour through several German cities with her programme.

Reactions and environment

Bonnie Tyler, who achieved international fame with global hits such as "Lost in France" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart," has been one of the best-known voices of British pop since the 1970s. Her ongoing illness has drawn international sympathy over the past weeks.

How the singer's recovery will progress in the coming weeks initially remained unclear. The management announced that further updates would be provided.

The news of the return of consciousness brought initial relief to fans and companions on Monday. Comments on the homepage speak of hope and wishes for recovery.

The doctors in charge in Faro want to continue monitoring the healing process closely and have not yet given any prognosis as to when Tyler might be able to leave the intensive care unit.

What happens next

Fans must prepare for a longer break: Should the singer recover as hoped, postponed concerts are unlikely to be made up before next year at the earliest. Her management asked for understanding and patience.

According to the management, the next official updates on her health condition will be published via the artist's website.
