Boyle’s brother: “She’s much happier. She seems a lot more like herself”
Susan Boyle has been released from a London psychiatric facility after a five-day stay, the Times of London reports. The 48-year-old Scottish singer, who was catapulted into an international tabloid frenzy after her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, was hospitalized after experiencing an anxiety attack following the show’s finale in which she placed second. Her brother Gerry Boyle reports she’s on the mend. “She’s much happier. She seems a lot more like herself,” he said, adding that his sister has regained confidence her career isn’t over: “She’s now beginning to believe that, ‘Yes indeed, I will be a singer.’ ”
