However, her health deteriorated, and she was placed in an induced coma, per several news outlets.<\/p>\n<p>A statement from Bonnie Tyler\u2019s spokesperson\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bonnietyler.com\/news\/updated-statement-on-bonnies-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">read<\/a>, \u201cThank you for the incredible outpouring of love and well wishes we\u2019ve received for Bonnie over the last few days. It truly means the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBonnie has been put into an induced coma by her doctors to aid her recovery,\u201d it continued. \u201cWe know that you all wish her well and ask for privacy at this difficult time, please. We will issue a further statement when we are able to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Per respected Portuguese daily Correio da Manha, which the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/3am\/celebrity-news\/bonnie-tyler-74-resuscitated-after-37137947\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mirror<\/a>\u00a0refers to, doctors tried to bring Bonnie Tyler out of an induced coma at an Algarve, Portugal, hospital after she fell poorly after life-saving surgery for a burst appendix.

That is, until doctors can control the \u201cserious infection\u201d she got following the burst appendix.<\/p>\n<p>Now, a friend of Bonnie Tyler has spoken out, giving a worrying update on the 74-year-old Welsh star. Speaking on\u00a0<em>Good Morning Britain<\/em>, long-term friend Liberto Mealha said that they hope she will improve as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could not see her because she\u2019s in intensive care, but we are praying for better news. The doctors are positive with the situation, but so far it\u2019s not that good,\u201d Liberto Mealha, whose daughter counts Bonnie Tyler as her godmother, said.<\/p>\n<p>Bonnie Tyler has long lived between Faro, Portugal, and her home in South Wales. In recent years, she has suffered from several health issues.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-spoke-about-health-issues\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spoke about health issues<\/h2>\n<p>She told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/bonnie-tylers-rare-comments-her-094003091.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hello!

I do home Pilates, only 20 minutes a day \u2013 it\u2019s something I can do in my hotel rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have had problems with my knees; I didn\u2019t have new knees, I had what they call washouts [a surgical knee procedure], which turned out to be very successful.
