Singer Bonnie Tyler has emerged from a coma but remains in a serious condition in intensive care, according to a representative.
The 75-year-old, originally from Skewen, Wales, was taken to a hospital in Faro, Portugal, in May following emergency intestinal surgery and was placed in a medically induced coma to assist her recovery.
Her health is showing signs of improvement, and doctors are "confident" she will recover, though the process is "slow," the spokesperson noted.
Tyler's summer tour will be either cancelled or postponed, though some autumn performances are still expected to proceed.
A message posted on the singer's website stated that she "was no longer in a coma but remains very unwell and in intensive care in hospital in Portugal."
"Although her condition is improving it is a slow process."
"Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time," it continued.
The spokesperson expressed gratitude to fans for their "huge outpouring of love and support" from across the globe, adding that Tyler is aware of it and appreciates the well-wishes.
The statement also offered apologies for the disruption to her summer tour schedule, saying: "We apologise to all of Bonnie's fans and to our promoter partners for the disappointment that this will cause but trust that you will understand and bear with us in these difficult circumstances."
"We hope to see you next year instead."
Tyler's team requested privacy and indicated that further updates would be provided when major developments occur.
