The brothers of singing star Susan Boyle have fallen out over her future career. John and Gerry Boyle are said to be “squabbling” over what to do for their younger sister after a blunt admission that she needs round-the-clock care. The row is over her manager Andy Stephens, 59, who has been at Susan’s side since she catapulted to fame on TV show Britain’s Got Talent in May 2009.
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:
The Juno Awards are Canada’s version of the Grammys. Yesterday the nominations were announced for the Juno Awards to be presented April 18, 2010 in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Michael Buble led the pack with six nominations. But for us, the great news is finally our beloved SuBo also received some recognition as well with a nomination for International Album of the Year for her collection I Dreamed a Dream. All the best for the achievement at Juno SuBo..
Simon Cowell gave Susan Boyle the option of walking away from her budding music career when he feared she was cracking under the pressure of stardom. Boyle gained international recognition after auditioning for the music mogul’s U.K. TV show “Britain’s Got Talent” in early 2009 – a clip of her singing spread across the internet and gained her legions of dedicated fans. But Cowell admits he hadn’t fully considered the effect Boyle’s sudden rise to fame would have on her and began to fear for the fragile star as the competition reached its final stages. The music mogul became so worried about her state of mind, he offered Boyle the chance to quit the show and return to her native Scotland.
