The 74-year-old Total Eclipse of the Heart star was taken in for treatment on Wednesday and was placed in an induced coma following the operation.

In a statement, her team thanked fans for their “incredible outpouring of love and well wishes” from around the world.

Fellow musicians, including Katrina Leskanich and Gloria Gaynor, have also sent messages of support.
