Bonnie Tyler Dies; Pulisic Injury Update

At 4:34 · chapter starts 4:04

The bulletin closes with two brief but affecting items. First, the death of Bonnie Tyler at 75 — the Welsh singer whose outsized voice and 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' defined a certain strain of 1980s pop drama. A family statement confirms she died in a Portuguese hospital while receiving treatment for an unspecified illness. Then a sporting update: the US Soccer Federation has confirmed that Christian Pulisic, who limped off during the US World Cup loss to Belgium, sustained a microfracture and bone bruise to his right leg. The diagnosis came via X-ray and MRI on Tuesday. He is expected to resume training and return to AC Milan, though no specific timeline is given — offering only cautious optimism for American soccer fans still processing a World Cup exit.
