The team announced cancellations of upcoming shows, hoping that fall engagements might proceed as planned. They thanked fans for their well-wishes while requesting privacy for Tyler and her family during this challenging period.

Tyler’s health issues began in May when she underwent emergency intestinal surgery and was placed in a medically induced coma shortly afterward. The singer, originally named Gaynor Hopkins, rose to fame in 1976 with “Lost In France” and garnered international success in the following decades with songs like “Holding Out for a Hero.” She continued her music career into the 2020s, celebrating her 50-year Jubilee Tour.

Despite achieving fame in the 1980s, Tyler’s music retains popularity. “Total Eclipse of the Heart” often serves as the anthem during celestial eclipses, reflecting its enduring appeal. Tyler expressed her excitement about the song’s ongoing resonance and how audiences worldwide embrace it.

Tyler is partnered with Robert Sullivan, a former Olympic judo competitor. The couple, married since 1973, have homes in Wales and Portugal. Their commitment to each other remains steadfast as they navigate these times.
