Boyle, 57, first appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009 and won over audiences with her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream.” She didn’t win the competition but she finished second.

Boyle said she was humbled by the reaction of the audience and judges. The performance was somewhat of a comeback for Boyle. She released her last album, “A Wonderful World,” in 2016. Since her appearance on the reality show in 2009, Boyle went on to sell more than 20 million records and earn two Grammy nominations, the BBC reported.
