Susan Boyle Released From London's Priory Hospital, 'Doing Better'

By:

The Associated Press is reporting that Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle has been released from the mental health care facility she was adimitted to and is doing better.

Her brother, Gerry Boyle told news service GMTV today, Friday, June 5th, that his sister had been released from London's Priory clinic. She was admitted last Sunday, after coming in second place in the "Britain's Got Talent" television show.

Doctors at the Priory clinic had diagnosed her with emotional exhaustion. Gerry Boyle said his sister suffered from an anxiety attack but now seems "a lot more like herself." In the past eight weeks, Boyle went quickly from the quiet life of a church volunteer in a small town in Scotland to global fame. 

Diversity, a troupe of brothers and friends who brought dynamic dancing to the stage time and time again won it all on "Britain's Got Talent." Their win proved a shocking upset as Scottish singing sensation, Boyle was expected to take it all!

Susan Boyle returned to 'Britain's Got Talent' finals, once again soaring with "I Dreamed a Dream." Boyle earned an emotional standing ovation from the audience and judges as she sang her song before the final results were announced. Respectful in defeat, Boyle praised Diversity, cheering them on by remarking, "The best people won. They're really entertaining and lads, I wish you all the best."

Diversity received a 100,000 pound ($159,000 US dollars) prize and the chance to perform before Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Show.

The week leading up to the final proved very stressful for Boyle, it was rumored at one point she was quitting before the final performance. To read an earlier UK Sun article detailing her emotional road the "Britain's Got Talent" finals click here.
