Bonnie Tyler opened her eyes in a Portuguese intensive care unit on Monday after more than five weeks in a medically induced coma. The Welsh singer's recovery coincided with an unlikely cultural revival: a Diary of a Wimpy Kid TikTok meme pushed her 1983 ballad 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' back into millions of teenage feeds.
The juxtaposition of a life-threatening ordeal and digital renaissance has placed Tyler, 75, at the centre of headlines once more. Fans worldwide are celebrating her gradual recovery while simultaneously propelling her most famous song into its biggest moment in decades.
