Representatives also announced that Tyler’s upcoming performances have been canceled while she focuses on recovery. There is still hope that dates scheduled for later in the year can move forward, depending on her health.

Her family expressed gratitude for the support that has poured in from fans around the world while continuing to request privacy.

“Bonnie’s family continues to ask for privacy and promise that we will issue further updates as soon as there are significant developments to share,” the statement added.

Born Gaynor Hopkins, Tyler launched her music career in the 1970s and rose to international fame with hits including “Lost In France,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

The singer has remained active on stage for decades and was recently performing as part of her Jubilee Tour, celebrating 50 years in the music industry.

In an interview with The Times earlier this year, Tyler reflected on her long career and enduring connection with audiences.

“Touring keeps me going. I consider myself a working-class girl, and I’ve never stopped working,” she said.

Her signature hit, “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” continues to find new audiences and often returns to the spotlight during major solar and lunar eclipses.

“I still get excited when I hear the song on the radio,” Tyler told “Good Morning America” in 2024. “Every time the eclipse comes, everyone all over the world they play ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart,’ and I never get tired of singing it.”

Tyler has been married to former Olympic judoka and real estate developer Robert Sullivan since 1973. The couple divides their time between homes in Wales and Portugal.
