Susan Boyle comes from Scotland. In 2009, she applied for the third edition of Britain’s Got Talent! She was 47 years old then. She performed the song “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical “Les Misérables” from 1980. She delighted both the jurors and the audience. On April 1, 2024, the artist turned 63. We decided to check how she is doing and whether she is still involved in music.
Who is Susan Boyle? “I have a talent!” opened the door to her career
Boyle’s performance caused a sensation around the world. A modestly dressed, unemployed woman appeared on stage and turned out to have a great voice. At first, the audience looked at her skeptically, but after just a dozen or so seconds, people stood up from their chairs in amazement, and there were applauses and screams of delight. The jury then included Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan. They also couldn’t hide their surprise at how much talent Susan had.
– Without a doubt, you’re the biggest surprise I’ve ever had in my three years on this show. When you stood in front of us with that cheeky smile and said, “I want to be like Elaine Paige,” everyone laughed at you. Now no one laughs. “It was stunning,” Piers said. You can watch the artist’s performance on the official “Britain’s Got Talent” YouTube profile. It currently has 27 million views.
What’s going on with Susan Boyle now? She withdrew from show business
At that time, only Taylor Swift was more popular than Susan. Boyle did not win “Britain’s Got Talent”, she came second. Despite this, she became a global phenomenon and her career gained momentum. Lots of film and music studios wanted to work with her. The singer has released six albums, the last one in 2014. She also underwent an external metamorphosis: she lost weight and changed her dressing style.
Susan is worth £22 million. Despite her enormous popularity, Boyle withdrew from show business. In 2013, she was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome and in April 2022 she suffered a stroke. The star decided to take care of herself and stopped giving concerts. She made only one exception and in 2023 she appeared in one of the episodes of “Britain’s Got Talent” as a special guest. However, it is known that she is not involved with anyone and does not have children.
