Bonnie Tyler, the 75-year-old Welsh singer known for her 1980s hits, has been brought out of a medically induced coma. She had been placed in the coma in May at a hospital in Faro, Portugal, to aid her recovery.

Her team and family announced on her website Monday evening that she is "no longer in a coma, but still feels very unwell and is in intensive care" in Portugal. Doctors remain confident in her full recovery, though they acknowledge it will take time.

Consequently, all concerts scheduled for Tyler through the end of August have been canceled or postponed. This includes planned performances in Germany and Austria, as well as a festival appearance in the United Kingdom. Her family expressed gratitude to fans for their "overwhelming love," assuring them that Tyler is aware of the support.

Tyler rose to fame in the 1970s with hits like "Lost in France" and "It's a Heartache." Her iconic song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" topped charts in both the UK and the U.S., followed by "Holding Out For A Hero" in 1984, featured in the U.S. film "Footloose."
