Susan Boyle – 60 Years Old

Many can remember the rise of Susan Boyle as a world-renowned singer. Already gaining success by winning several singing competitions, she became first known to the world when she auditioned on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. Initially, she was not regarded as a serious contender due to her appearance, which shaped the opinion of some. However, her rendition of the Les Misérables song I Dreamed a Dream wowed both the judges and audiences and put doubts about her talent to rest. While she only got 2nd place, in the end, she left a great impression on everybody, particularly Simon Cowell, who put her under his management and made her into a global star.

Today, at age 60, Boyle has undeniably been successful in her music career. She has done several world tours since and has been a well-known figure online, with her Britain’s Got Talent audition garnering hundreds of millions of views. In addition, she has made several investments towards advancing various causes over the years.
