Bonnie Tyler is recuperating after undergoing emergency surgery in Portugal.

“We are very sorry to announce that Bonnie has been admitted to hospital in Faro, Portugal, where she has a home, for emergency intestinal surgery,” reads a post on the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer’s website. “The surgery went well and she is now recuperating.”

“We know that all of her family, friends, and fans will be concerned about this news and will be wishing her well for a full and swift recovery,” the post concludes.
