Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, known for hits such as “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” has died at the age of 75, according to a statement on her website and Instagram account.
Her death comes a few months after the pop star, whose legal name is Gaynor Hopkins, underwent emergency surgery and was put into an induced coma, reported the UK’s PA Media news agency on Thursday.
“Bonnie’s family and team are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly passed away last night in hospital in Portugal as a result of the illness that she was being treated for,” the statement said.
“We will issue a further statement shortly but for now ask for privacy to deal with this tragedy,” it added.
