Boyle is just a few months removed from her long-awaited return to social media when she finally broke a nearly two-year silence after suffering her stroke. During a 2024 interview with The Daily Mail, Boyle hinted that her recovery was going well.
"I'm back alright. I'm feeling OK and ready to go," she revealed. "I had a major stroke and I've had to fight my way back. It's taken me three years and it's been hard — I'm not going to pretend otherwise — but it's made me determined to keep going."
"Determined" is a fantastic word to describe the 64-year-old. Her talent and passion simply can't be denied, and fans worldwide eagerly await hearing what Boyle's been working on in the studio in 2025.

"Life has been a whirlwind. A very happy whirlwind," she explained. "I've achieved more in the past five years since appearing on Britain's Got Talent than I did in the first 47 years of my life. I have been so busy but genuinely can say I've loved every minute. I can't believe I've recorded six albums and traveled the world performing."
As a devoutly religious woman, Boyle's faith has guided her throughout her life and has had a lasting effect on navigating the sometimes-unfamiliar career path she's found herself on.
"When there are times that I have moments of doubt and think, 'Will I be good enough?' I turn to my faith, which has been the backbone of my career."
