Susan Boyle explains why she was relieved to be diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome
'Britain’s Got Talent' singing sensation Susan Boyle is opening up about her Asperger's Syndrome.
Susan Boyle, who became an international sensation in 2009 when she shocked the judges with her powerful rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Misérables," showed off her new blonde locks on a red carpet this week.
The 64-year-old sported a bob with bangs while attending the Pride of Britain Awards in London on Monday.
"What a wonderful evening at the Pride of Britain Awards! It was such an honour to celebrate so many truly inspiring people," Boyle wrote on her Instagram. "Everyone looked absolutely fabulous, and it was lovely to catch up with some familiar faces, including the brilliant Anne Hegerty (I’m a huge fan of The Chase)!"

In April, Boyle, who is from a small Scottish town, reflected on how far she had come since her viral performance on "Britain’s Got Talent," which took place when she was unemployed.
"16 years ago today, my @bgt audition first aired on UK TV, and my life changed forever!" she wrote along with a video of her performance. "I stepped out onto that stage with absolutely nothing except my dream. That was all I had back then. I was an unknown woman from Scotland, and thanks to all of you, I’m known around the world. Here’s to ALWAYS chasing your dreams!"
