Bonnie Tyler, the ‘80s music legend, has been hospitalized in Faro, Portugal, where she is currently living. Following an episode of severe abdominal pain, the singer had emergency surgery for a perforated intestine. She is now recovering in the intermediate care unit.
Many hits from the 1980's remain in our heads and in our hearts. Tyler is one of many artists to have come out of an era of excess, big hair, shoulder pads, and massive hits that we still love to this day.
Introducing new rock stars and pop hits, this period was an extremely transformational time for the music industry, one that made synthesizers and other digital sounds mainstream. It was also a time when rap and hip hop made huge strides, paving the way for many artists today.
