The Real Reason We Don't Hear About Susan Boyle Anymore

With the voice of a hopeful but world-weary angel, a bank account bursting at the seams, and international chart-topping hits, where has Susan Boyle gone? Let's find out what this talented Brit is up to. Throughout Boyle's entire life, she was told she had "brain damage." He's not an easy burden for anyone to bear, but it turns out that all he needed was proper therapeutic care. She went to seek a diagnosis from a Scottish specialist, who told her that she actually had Asperger's syndrome, not brain damage. Not only did she finally get some

real

answers, but she also needed validation, as tests confirmed that she also has an above-average IQ.

Boyle is hopeful the diagnosis will help others understand her in a more meaningful way. Boyle is mega famous now, but that doesn't diminish the fact that she was struggling long before she blew Piers Morgan away. Prior to her appearance on Britain's Got Talent in 2009, she had suffered some serious losses. Her father died in 1999, followed by her sister Kathleen in 2000. But one of Boyle's greatest losses was the 2007 death of her mother, whom she cared for and adored. "And when she was singing that song, she was reflecting, because I think my parents would be proud of me now." In 2015, Boyle had to face another painful death: that of her older sister, whom her loved ones called "Birdie." she succumbed to cancer.

Although Birdie was 73 years old at the time of her death, it was unexpected. For a devastated Boyle, it was an extremely low point. Despite these losses, Boyle still feels the support of her loved ones, especially her mother, who she says was the angel on her shoulder the day of her groundbreaking audition. She also continues to remember how her sister Birdie kept her humble. After Birdie's death, Boyle took a short break and put the album she was working on on hold so she could take some time to breathe. They say it's never too late to find love, right?

That's certainly true for Boyle, who at age 53 entered into her first

real

romantic relationship. She briefly had a boyfriend when she was in her twenties, but that relationship pretty much stopped before it began. It turns out that her father didn't think she was ready for the romance, so he ended it. And even though it hurt her at the time, she's no longer angry about it. Boyle finally got a second chance at romance in 2014, when she fell for an American doctor who was "the perfect gentleman." And although everyone had hopes for it, unfortunately it didn't work out in the end, as Boyle felt, quote, "it just wasn't practical." How lucrative is Boyle's music empire?

For one, her debut album, I Dreamed A Dream, named after the song that made her a legend, took first place on the Billboard charts in 2009. It was also the best-selling album worldwide that year. . Way to go, SuBo! Boyle released her second album, The Gift, in 2010. It reached number one in both the UK and US at the same time. That was the second time she pulled off that trick in a year, something only The Beatles and The Monkees had done before her. In total, Boyle's total net worth is estimated to be around $33 million, meaning she will probably never have to worry about money again.

That's well deserved, given where she started. A major

reason

Boyle has been able to maintain her wealth is because she is in charge of three companies that manage her millions. Along with her trusted manager Andy Stephens, she took control of her brand in 2011. It's always nice to see a woman take charge of her own finances. Although Boyle hasn't launched any major world tours recently, and although she has a lot of money, she continues to put those perfect tubes to work. Her seventh and most recent album, A Wonderful World, was released in 2016. The record features a variety of tunes, including classics like "When You Wish Upon A Star." Plus, there are two duets: She paired with Michael Bolton for a contemporary rendition of "Somewhere Out There." And then there was a "virtual duet" with the late Nat King Cole on "When I Fall In Love." On top of that, Boyle covered "Like a Prayer," a classic by one of her long-time favorites, Madonna.

Finally, after a long radio silence, Camp SuBo got a real treat when Boyle posted to her Instagram on October 10, 2018 for the first time in almost five years. The post said the singer was back and that she would soon have "exciting announcements." It's time! Additionally, just a few weeks earlier, it was announced that Boyle would be returning to the stage on America's Got Talent: The Champions. That means she will once again be reunited with shade king Simon Cowell, who apparently has no shade for Susan. Will Boyle light up the stage like she did during her first audition on Britain's Got Talent?

We think so and we can't wait to find out!
