You remember Susan Boyle. She’s the frumpy Scottish singer who became a literal overnight superstar when video from her audition for “Britain’s Got Talent” went viral in 2009.
Despite a fabulously-successful first album later that year, Boyle was plagued with panic attacks and gave a few awful live performances, leading many in the industry to worry her career wouldn’t have much of a shelf-life.
But now? She’s back.
How’s that for uncanny?! Songbird Susan Boyle showed off her new incredibly life-like waxwork at Madame Tussauds in Blackpool, England on Tuesday. The wax likeness of the platinum-selling talent show sensation took four months to create and will take pride of place at the new Blackpool attraction alongside other figures from the world of TV, music and sport. The attraction Madame Tussauds’ first UK location outside of London.
“What can you say? They have done a very good job. It feels fantastic,” the star told reporters. “It was such a great process to be involved in and it looks very realistic.”
Damages actress Glenn Close is set to star as Scottish spinster-turned-singing sensation Susan Boyle in a proposed film about her life, according to new reports out of the UK.
It’s a great start to a New Year for Susan Boyle, who just received a plague celebrating 14 million albums sold in 14 months.
