Susan Boyle will be singing at the Fourth of July celebrations in Washington. Well that is according to Subo’s brother, John. He said she “has been invited to the celebrations at the White House with the president. So as you can see, her dream is still very much alive. In fact, it’s only just starting.”

About her breakdown he said that “Susan is exhausted, that’s all there is to it. It’s no surprise – she has gone from a small town in West Lothian to being famous around the world. She’s been battered non-stop for the last seven weeks and it has taken its toll. But she’ll be looking forward now to the Fourth of July.”

Not sure what I think about this. But maybe with the correct support she will be OK. Simon Cowell has telephoned Susan at the private clinic, the Priory where she is recovering from her breakdown, to promise he will support her “unconditionally” whatever she decides to do after losing in the final to dance act Diversity.
