Singer Bonnie Tyler has emerged from a coma but continues to receive intensive care in a hospital in Portugal following emergency surgery.

A spokesperson confirmed that while her condition is improving, the recovery process is expected to be slow.

Doctors treating Tyler are reportedly confident that she will make a full recovery, despite the gradual progress.

This development comes after a statement on the star's website indicated she was no longer in a coma but remained "very unwell."

The health update has led to the cancellation or postponement of Tyler's summer tour dates.

Her team expressed apologies to fans and promoters for the disruption, asking for understanding during these challenging circumstances.

There is still hope that some of her autumn performances might go ahead as planned.

The cancellation of her summer tour dates highlights the severity of her condition and the impact on her professional commitments.

Tyler's representatives also conveyed her gratitude for the "huge outpouring of love and support" from fans worldwide, noting that she is aware of the well wishes.

They have requested privacy for the singer and stated that further updates will be provided only when significant developments occur.
