“Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer Bonnie Tyler has woken up from a coma, her team revealed on Monday. “Bonnie is no longer in a coma, but remains seriously ill,” a representative for the 75-year-old said. “Although her condition is improving, the recovery process is slow.” Tyler first reported severe abdominal pain in April while staying at her second home in Portugal. She was rushed to an ER in the southern city of Faro after her health deteriorated, where doctors discovered her appendix had burst, prompting emergency surgery. In May, she was placed in a medically induced coma following further complications from the operation. According to reports by local media, she then went into cardiac arrest when doctors initially tried to bring her out of the coma. Her medical team believes she will make a full recovery, but for now, the ‘80s icon remains in serious condition. The singer’s management thanked supporters for standing by her over the last few months. “We would like to thank everyone for the tremendous sympathy and support from around the world,” they wrote in a statement.
