She’s been awarded an MBE, she represented the UK at Eurovision… Bonnie Tyler very sadly d!ed today at the age of 75, in hospital, in Portugal.
“Her family released a statement via her website, which in a testament to her popularity, has crashed with the amount of people trying to flock to the website to read this.
“It simply said, ‘Bonnie’s family and team are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly passed away last night in hospital in Portugal as a result of the illness that she was being treated for. We will issue a further statement shortly but for now as for privacy to deal with this.’”
He went on to say: “Bonnie Tyler was rushed to hospital in May in Portugal, and placed in an induced coma due to an infection that had obviously rendered her incredibly unwell.
