Coventry-based singer songwriter Hazel O'Connor has had to be rushed to hospital after a serious medical episode.

Hazel was found at her home in south-west France and rushed to hospital after suffering a 'serious medical event', her brother Neil said in a statement today, Monday, January 17.

Hazel was put in an induced coma for about 24 hours after the incident on January 9 when doctors discovered she had suffered bleeding on the brain.

The singer was a regular in the charts in the 1980s, with top ten hits such as Eighth Day, D-Days and Will You? making her a household name. She also starred in multi-million pound 80s movie Breaking Glass with Phil Daniels and Jonathan Pryce.

Now, in the wake of the incident, her brother says she is showing signs of progress. And he says the singer is responding well to treatment - but warns her recovery is going to take some time.

Writing a post on Hazel's Facebook page, Neil said: "This is an important announcement about my darling sister, Singer, Songwriter and Actor, Hazel O’Connor.

"On Sunday last, 9/01/2022, Hazel was discovered at her place in SW France and was found to have suffered a serious medical event

"She was taken to her local hospital where it was determined that she’d had a bleeding on the brain and that she should be transferred to a major hospital where her condition could more effectively monitored.

"On Sunday things were touch and go and the next 24 hours would determine how her recovery may go.

"She was put into an induced coma for about 24 hrs and brought out of it Monday evening and since then has been showing a lot of progress although, saying that, her recovery is going to take a while but she is tough and is responding to stimuli and to treatment.

"She’s receiving the best of care and I thank the French medical service there for taking such good care of her."
