Bonnie Tyler has sadly passed away.

It’s with heavy hearts we report the Total Eclipse of the Heart singer has died at 75 years old. In a message shared on Bonnie’s official website on Thursday, the iconic singer’s family and team announced the saddening news:

“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.”

That’s so, so sad. The family went on:

“Although her condition is improving it is a slow process. Her doctors remain confident that she will make a good recovery but it is going to take time.”

In the same announcement, Bonnie’s family revealed to fans that all of her planned shows would be postponed until next year:

“We apologize to all of Bonnie’s fans and to our promoter partners for the disappointment that this will cause but trust that you will understand and bear with us in these difficult circumstances. We hope to see you next year instead.”
