The music world sees one more star go out with the unfortunate death of singer Bonnie Tyler, the Welsh star behind the 80s hit, “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” The news was confirmed by his family in an emotional statement released from his official website.

According to the information revealed by her loved ones, the interpreter's death occurred unexpectedly while she was admitted to a hospital in the city of Faro, in the Algarve region, Portugal.

"Bonnie's family and team are devastated to announce that Bonnie passed away unexpectedly last night in hospital in Portugal as a result of the illness for which she was being treated," the statement said.

To conclude their message, Tyler's family added: "We will publish a new statement soon, but for now we ask for privacy to be able to deal with this tragedy."

The news did not take long to unleash a wave of shock among the public who followed her on social networks and closely followed her evolution, including the actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who dedicated some emotional words to her from Instagram.

"I am heartbroken. Our queen Bonnie... you were such an important part of my life. Rest in peace, beautiful lady," he said under the post in which Tyler's departure was announced.

What did Bonnie Tyler die from?

According to reports, the singer's health complications date back to last May, when she was rushed to the hospital to undergo emergency intestinal surgery and a coma was induced to promote her recovery.

Just last month, a spokesperson for Bonnie Tyler reported that the famous woman had come out of a coma, but was still very serious in the intensive care unit of the same hospital where she underwent surgery.

Despite the outlook, it was said that his condition was improving and that doctors were “optimistic about his recovery, although progress was slow.”
