Susan Boyle’s brother has spoke of his sadness for his sister, saying that all she really wants is someone to love. Susan had a bit of an emotional breakdown at Nice airport last week and during a subsequent string of late night phone calls to her brother Gerry she admitted that she is feeling incredibly lonely. Gerry told The People:
“It’s just all so sad, so sad. Susan has the world at her feet in terms of fame and money but at this precise moment in time it means nothing. Absolutely nothing. The one thing she wants above all everything else is love. Who doesn’t? Her biggest wish is to find someone who she can share her success with and support her through the difficult times. Of course her family will always be there for her but it is not the same as having someone special in your life.”
Susan is said to be particularly jealous of the family life which her manager Andy Stephens enjoys. Gerry said: “She sees how happy and contented he is with his family and wants that kind of security and love for herself. Susan knows she can jet anywhere in the world first-class, eat in the best restaurants and stay in the top hotels but that means nothing to her if she doesn’t have anyone to share those moments with. All those throw-away comments about Pebbles her cat being her soulmate were a way of masking unhappiness. Susan has this impression that everybody thinks she is some kind of freak because of her appearance on stage and this is what puts men off. Of course her money and fame would intimidate most men and I know the jokes about Susan being nicknamed the ‘Hairy Angel’ hurt her enormously. The harsh reality is that Susan has to control her fame, not the other way around. Maybe if Mr Special came along everything in the garden would be rosy again but as she’s off to Australia I’m not holding my breath.”
