Bonnie Tyler Went into Cardiac Arrest After She Had Emergency Bowel Surgery: Report
The singer from Wales was in great pain after she got to Portugal, where she has a house, following unsuccessful tests in London.
News of the singer’s health battle was first announced on Wednesday after reports revealed that she had emergency surgery for a perforated intestine last week.
