Bonnie Tyler, the singer, known for hits including Total Eclipse of the Heart, Holding Out for a Hero and It's a Heartache, has died at the age of 75. In May, Bonnie Tyler was rushed to a hospital in Faro, Portugal, for emergency intestinal surgery and placed in an induced coma to aid her recovery. In an update last month, a spokesperson said she was out of a coma but remained very unwell in intensive care. At the time, they said her condition was improving and doctors were "confident" she would recover - although progress was "slow". They also cancelled or postponed dates for the singer's summer tour, but hoped some later in the year could go ahead.
