Bonnie Tyler resuscitated after cardiac arrest from pulling her out of induced coma

Bonnie Tyler reportedly had to be resuscitated after going into cardiac arrest after doctors tried to bring her out of an induced coma.

The singer, 74, was originally admitted to Algarve hospital in Portugal last week after emergency surgery following her appendix bursting, but was soon put into an induced coma when her condition worsened.

The singer, known for her hit Total Eclipse of the Heart, will now remain in a coma in an intensive care unit at Faro Hospital until doctors can properly manage the "serious infection" caused by a perforated intestine, Portuguese daily newspaper Correio da Manha reported.

Her long-term friend Liberto Mealha told The Sun doctors are confident she will make a full recovery despite the complications.

He recalled the singer started feeling sick when attending a concent in London and went to the doctor for tests, but nothing was detected.

She then decided to travel to The Algarve in Portugal, where she has a home, but soon began to feel severe abdominal pain.

She visited a private hospital, and later was transferred to Faro after her appendix burst and emergency surgery was needed.

At the time, a statement on her official website, dated May 6, read, "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. 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."

Days later, her representative shared, "Bonnie has been put into an induced coma by her doctors to aid her recovery,

"We know that you all wish her well and ask for privacy at this difficult time please."

The Welsh singer rose to fame in the 1970s with hits including Lost in France and It's a Heartache, eventually becoming the first British female artist to debut at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, and remains the only Welsh artist to land a No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.

She later gained even more acclaim for Total Eclipse of the Heart and Holding Out for a Hero, which continue to be played to this day.
