Susan Boyle: Here is how the BGT contestant is doing a year after suffering from a stroke

It's been over 14 years since Susan Boyle first made an impression on Britain's Got Talent. In 2009, the 62-year-old singer amazed the judges, including Simon Cowell, with her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from the Broadway hit musical Les Misérables. Although she didn't make it through to the final of season 3, Susan Boyle's career took off in a way she could have only dreamed!

Unfortunately, since her hit success, the Scottish singer has been extremely discreet on social media and has not appeared on TV since. Well, that was the case until the final of Britain's Got Talent on Sunday, June 4. Susan Boyle then revealed she suffered a stroke in April last year, and fought hard to get back to her passion, singing.
