Tyler was hospitalized in Faro, Portugal, after an emergency intestinal surgery in May 2026. Initially, her team reported that the surgery was successful and she was recovering.
«We regret to inform that Bonnie has been hospitalized in Faro, Portugal, where she has a home, for emergency intestinal surgery», - the statement published on her website on May 6, 2026, said. «The surgery went well, and she is now recovering».
However, the next day, Tyler’s representatives confirmed that doctors had placed the singer in a medically induced coma to assist her recovery while she was under intensive medical supervision.
As of May 8, 2026, Tyler remains in the hospital in Portugal, recovering from the surgery. Her manager stated that the medically induced coma was necessary to stabilize her condition and support the recovery process following the emergency surgery.
Tyler’s team also requested privacy during her treatment.
Prior to her hospitalization, Tyler had been actively performing and preparing for her 2026 European tour, which includes scheduled performances in Malta and Germany at the end of the month.
Over the years, Tyler has faced various health issues, particularly related to her voice. In the 1970s, she underwent surgery to remove vocal nodules, and complications during recovery permanently altered her voice, ultimately contributing to the raspy sound that became her trademark.
In recent years, Tyler has openly discussed periodic knee pain and age-related health issues, but she continued to tour and perform regularly even in her 70s
