Bonnie Tyler, the Welsh singer best known for her 1983 hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart," has died at the age of 75. Her death was announced on Thursday by her family and team in a statement.

According to the statement, Tyler died in a hospital in Portugal, where she had been receiving treatment for an illness. "We will issue a further statement shortly but for now ask for privacy to deal with this tragedy," the statement read.

Earlier in May, it was confirmed that Tyler had been placed in a medically induced coma following emergency intestinal surgery. Her manager stated at the time that doctors had induced the coma to aid her recovery.

Tyler had been admitted to a hospital in Faro, Portugal, for the emergency procedure. A statement released on her official social media channels indicated that the surgery was successful and she was recuperating.

Her 2026 European tour was scheduled to begin on May 22 in Malta.

Born Gaynor Hopkins on June 8, 1951, in Skewen, Wales, Tyler began her music career in the early 1970s as a backup singer before launching a solo career. She gained prominence with her 1977 debut album, "The World Starts Tonight," which included hits like "Lost in France" and "It's a Heartache."

Tyler became known for her distinctive husky voice, which she developed after undergoing surgery in 1977 to remove nodules from her vocal cords. This change in her voice led to her first American hit, "It's a Heartache."

In the 1980s, she collaborated with songwriter and producer Jim Steinman, who wrote "Total Eclipse of the Heart." The song propelled Tyler to global superstardom and was featured on her 1983 chart-topping album, "Faster Than the Speed of Night." The album earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, Female, at the 1984 Grammy Awards. Steinman also produced other hits for Tyler, including "Holding Out for a Hero," which was featured on the "Footloose" soundtrack.

Throughout her five-decade career, Tyler released 18 studio albums, with her most recent, "The Best Is Yet to Come," released in 2021. She collaborated with numerous artists, including Rod Stewart, Meat Loaf, and Todd Rundgren.

Tyler is survived by her husband of 52 years, Robert Sullivan.
