On Instagram last night, Susan Boyle shared with her fans about her health journey: “Tonight is very special to me because in April 2022, I had a stroke. Over the past year, I have worked tirelessly to speak and sing again, with the sole goal of performing on stage once more. Tonight, my hard work and perseverance paid off. I sang the song that started it all, ‘I Dreamed A Dream.’”
Susan Boyle first appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in season three in 2009. Her audition performance of “I Dreamed A Dream” quickly captured the attention of audiences across the UK and around the world. Despite her unpolished, older appearance and awkward demeanor, the 47-year-old single woman from a small village in Scotland stunned everyone with her angelic, powerful voice full of emotion. That year, Susan Boyle finished as the runner-up, but she became even more famous than the winner and went on to become a global music phenomenon.
After her success in the competition, Susan Boyle has released 8 albums, sold over 25 million records, and accumulated a net worth of around 40 million USD
Despite becoming a millionaire, Susan Boyle maintains a simple, private life and rarely appears in the media. She lives alone in her family’s old house in a small village in West Lothian, Scotland. The singer often travels by bus or bicycle. When she’s not performing or recording, Susan Boyle works at a local store, earning a wage of £6 per hour.
