More than ten years ago, during season three of “Britain’s Got Talent,” Susan Boyle amazed music fans around the globe.
Millions of people have seen the video of her first audition. She stood nervously in front of Simon Cowell and sang “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables. She seemed shy and reserved, but her voice stunned everyone.
Now, over a decade later, Susan Boyle, also known as “SuBo,” has changed a lot. She has opened up about her journey and why she made certain choices.
Susan revealed to the judges that she was unemployed and lived alone with her cat, Pebbles. Later, she shared that she was bullied as a child. She was also wrongly diagnosed with a learning disability.
Type 2 Diabetes
After her unforgettable audition, Susan became an overnight sensation. She sold more than 19 million records worldwide. Her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, broke records in the UK, selling more copies than any first album in history.
According to The Daily Express, Susan’s doctors warned her that her Type 2 diabetes could make live performances difficult.
On January 25, 2014, during Burns Night, Susan wrote a heartfelt note to her fans: “Hello, I want to wish all my wonderful friends…”
Health Changes
People with Type 2 diabetes either don’t produce enough insulin or their bodies don’t respond to it properly.
After receiving the diagnosis, the Scottish singer decided to make major lifestyle changes. Susan still lives in the same house where she grew up, but her habits are different now.
She told The Mirror at the time, “I have to stop eating sweets and cakes.” She admitted, “It’s so hard for me.”
By June 2019, Susan revealed she had lost 28 pounds. She said she felt much better and was proud of herself. Speaking to UK TV host Lorraine Kelly, she explained, “Sometimes I needed support, and I wasn’t afraid to ask for help.”
A Champion for Others
In January 2019, Susan returned to the stage for America’s Got Talent: The Champions. Her fans were thrilled to see her again.
During the show, she shared a message: “I am a champion for people who are afraid to follow their dreams. I represent those without a voice, the ones others overlook.” She added, “I see myself as a fighter for them.”
Susan also released her album TEN around that time. It features the popular song “Stand By Me” as its second track. Fans were encouraged to pre-order the record.
Staying Strong
On December 14, 2019, Susan performed at the annual Christmas concert in Vatican City. It was another special moment for the singer.
Millions of fans still admire Susan Boyle’s story. She rose to fame despite many obstacles. Now, she’s focusing on her health and living a better life.
Susan Boyle also shared stories about her childhood home in Blackburn, Scotland, in a YouTube video.
