'Happier' Boyle Checks Out of Hospital

Share

(Newser) – Susan Boyle has checked out of a mental health hospital where she was treated for nervous exhaustion and is "much happier," her brother tells the Telegraph. "She seems a lot more like herself. Things are becoming clearer for her now," he said. "She's now beginning to believe that, 'Yes, indeed, I will be a singer.'" Boyle, 48, has moved to a flat in central London.

The Scottish church singer with the breathtaking voice was rushed to the hospital last Sunday after apparently suffering a breakdown when she came in second in the Britain's Got Talent finals. Despite her loss, she could make millions from a singing career. Bookies  are already predicting a hit in America, where the middle-aged songbird has made millions of fans.

She seems too fragile to make this a professional career. She's being naive if she thinks the worst of it is over. I hope she makes it but the warning signs are already evident - she may not have the emotional strength to persevere in an industry that takes no prisoners. Reply

You may be right Robert_Dada. I do hope that she gets herself together AND is able to have a good career, but she will needs some good, decent people around her to help her navigate through all the BS that's associated with fame, fortune and notoriety. I hope no one takes advantage of her and I hope that she goes on to do what's right for her. I wish her well!!!

The bottom line is that the "press" and paparazzi need to stay away and take the pressure off her. Reply
