Bonnie Tyler.

Bonnie Tyler has died at the age of 75.

News of the Welsh singer's death was announced in a short statement posted on her official website, reading: "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 ask for privacy to deal with this tragedy."

In May, Tyler was put in a medically induced coma in a hospital in Faro, Portugal, after undergoing emergency intestinal surgery. At the time, a spokesperson for the singer said, "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. We will issue a further statement when we are able to."

Tyler had been set to perform at Sunshine Festival in Worcester this summer, and was also scheduled to play a number of European shows.
