Susan Boyle is back.
The Britain’s Got Talent alum made her grand return to Instagram for the first time since 2023, sporting a hot pink blazer and glam, declaring, “I am back, definitely back.”
“Today’s a special day — it’s my birthday!” Susan captioned the April 1 post. “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!”
Sharing that she “can’t wait to do more” Susan teased exciting news will be coming soon. But for now, she’s just checking in.
“I just wanted to say how much I’ve missed you all,” she continued. “Your support means the world to me and I’m more determined and excited than ever.”
The “Wild Horses” singer returns to the platform following a minor stroke she suffered in 2022. In one of her last posts before her recent return, Susan opened up about how the stroke impacted her speech and music.
“For the past year I have worked so hard to get my speech and singing back,” she wrote on the June 2023 post, “with the sole aim of being able to sing on stage again.”
And return to the stage she did. In the post, she shared pictures of her on the stage for the Season 16 finale of Britain’s Got Talent in a surprise performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables—the song she performed for her viral Season 3 audition.
When asked by hosts Dec Donnelly and Ant McPartlin what it felt like to be back on stage, she said, “it feels great.”
“I have fought like crazy to get back on stage,” Susan added. “And I have done it.”
Susan first rose to fame following her appearance on the third season of BGT, ending the show in second place. Despite being a runner-up, after releasing her debut album later that same year titled I Dreamed A Dream, it quickly became the UK’s best-selling debut album of all time.
And during her full-circle moment performance in 2023, Simon Cowell took a moment to express how much the Scottish artist means to the show.
“Susan, we owe you so much and I knew you weren’t well,” he said. “But if anyone was going to come back you were going to come back because we wouldn’t be the same without you.”
