“Bonnie’s family and team would like to update everyone on how she is progressing with her recovery. Bonnie is 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.”
“As such we are sorry to tell everyone that we will be cancelling, or postponing until next year where possible, all of our remaining shows this summer. This will affect every current show until the end of August. At present we are still hopeful that our shows in the autumn will go ahead. 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.”
“We would like to thank everyone for the huge outpouring of love and support from all over the world that we have received for Bonnie and want to tell you that she is aware of, and very grateful for, your good wishes. Bonnie’s family continue to ask for privacy and promise that we will issue further updates as soon as there are significant developments to share,” the statement said.
One of the most successful female singers of all time, Tyler started her career in 1969 and since then sold an estimated amount of more than 100 million records worldwide. Some of her biggest hit songs are “Total Eclipse of The Heart”, “Holding Out For a Hero”, “It’s a Heartache”, “Together” and “If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)”. In the digital age we are in now, she has more than 16 million monthly listeners on Spotify, which is a big number compared to many artists from her generation.
