Susan Boyle has returned to the recording studio for the first time in six years as she gears up for a musical comeback

The singer, 64, took to Instagram on Tuesday and revealed she is making new music after suffering a series of health issues

‘I want to thank my manager, Geraldine, for being my rock through everything and for helping me get back to where I belong. A million thanks.’

Susan, from Blackburn in West Lothian, suffered a stroke in 2022 which left her struggling to speak or sing. 

Having suffered one stroke, it meant she was vulnerable to another, so her management team had to carefully manage the pace of her return to public life. 

Susan also has diabetes and was warned by doctors during the pandemic she had a high chance of catching coronavirus. 

At the time, she said: ‘I’ve not been able to do too much. But that will change later, I’m always an optimist.

‘I have diabetes so I have tried to stay indoors as much as possible. Catching Covid would not have been a good outcome.’

Susan’s fans were thrilled with the news she is returning to music and wrote on her post: ‘Oh darling we your fans are thrilled and overjoyed.’

‘Wonderful news, dear Susan, you are happy, we are happy. ❤️’… ‘About time!! My withdrawals were getting too much!! Can’t wait!!’

Susan rose to fame after appearing on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009

Susan made UK music history by having three successive albums debut at No 1 in less than two years. To date, she has sold 25 million records

‘Happy day indeed, for all of us who love and find comfort in your voice.’   

It’s been 16 years since she was catapulted to world stardom by the TV show Britain’s Got Talent.

The album named after her breakthrough song I Dreamed a Dream became the world’s best-seller of 2009. 

Susan also made UK music history by having three successive albums debut at No 1 in less than two years. To date, she has sold 25 million records.

She went on to achieve personal highlights such as singing for Pope Francis during the Vatican’s Christmas concert in 2019.

It took her three minutes and 40 seconds to get a standing ovation from the astonished judges, a moment captured on a YouTube video which has 100 million hits.

Yet she only came second on the leading talent show. Recalling the period, she said: ‘It was overnight because one minute I was watching it with my brother, and the next, there were these screaming kids at the door.

‘I opened the door, and they were asking for my autograph. It was a bit of a whirlwind because you never think you’re going to get anywhere, and then all of a sudden, bang!’
