Boyle rose to fame on Season 3 of BGT in 2009, as her audition performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables went viral. Though she finished second in the competition, she has gone on to achieve major success in the music industry, releasing seven studio albums and earning two Grammy nominations.
Boyle returned to the BGT stage in June 2023 to sing “I Dreamed a Dream” with the U.K. cast of Les Misérables. The performance was a meaningful one, as she revealed that she had suffered a stroke the year prior.
“For the past year I have worked so hard to get my speech and singing back, with the sole aim of being able to sing on stage again & tonight my hard work & perseverance paid off, singing the song that started it all, ‘I Dreamed A Dream,’” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
Boyle returned to Instagram for the first time since 2023 earlier this year to give fans an exciting career update. “Today’s a special day — it’s my birthday! But I’ve got something exciting to share… I’m back and working on some wonderful new projects that I can’t wait for you to hear about! ✨,” she captioned the April 1 post. “More news will be coming very soon, but I just wanted to say how much I’ve missed you all. Your support means the world to me and I’m more determined and excited than ever.”
One month later, Boyle celebrated returning to the recording studio for the first time in six years. “[It was] something I was told I might never achieve again. But here we are, in my happy place!” she captioned a May 19 Instagram post. “I want to thank my manager, Geraldine, for being my absolute rock through everything and for helping me get back to where I belong. A million thanks.”
