Susan Boyle is

no longer the same.

By the time he sang

I Dreamed a Dream

from

Les Miserables

on stage of

Britains Got Talent

,

her life changed.

He dedicated himself to success, sold millions of records, and tried to be someone else.

Twelve years later, celebrating her 60th birthday today, by the way,

Susan tries to go back to being who she was, but she can't anymore.

Success has left in its wake

more than 25 million euros,

a great physical change, the loss of an important person, the

blackmail

of a brother and two diagnoses that help to better understand who Susan Boyle is.

Her everlasting smile and voice made

the world fall in love in 2009, but it was that simplicity, and that inveterate optimism, that has also made her suffer a

certain condescension

on the part of those around her.

As a child, doctors told her she suffered "brain damage," and her entourage even labeled her Simple Susan.

After achieving fame, the singer went to a specialist in Scotland who diagnosed her with

Asperger's Syndrome

and even recognized that she had an

above

-average

IQ

.

"I think that from now on people will treat me better because they will understand why I do the things I do," she explained in

The Guardian

in 2013.

That was not, however, the only diagnosis that changed his life.

His type 2 diabetes

has also helped him change his eating habits and

lose several tens of kilos

over the last decade.

"I had to stop eating sweets and cakes. They are my downfall," he says.

Even so, what has marked him the most in recent years has been his family.

After

losing her father, a sister and her mother

in the ten years leading up to 2009 when she won

Got Talent

, Susan

lost her older sister

in 2015 to cancer, which led to her stalling the release of her latest album. .

"She was an honest woman who always helped me throughout my life and throughout my career. She was not afraid to tell me that I was trying to do things that were too big for me," she explained then.

However, another of her brothers, Gerry, came, according to family sources, to

threaten her with suicide if she did not give him 60,000 euros.

Over time, things between the two seem to have smoothed out, and right now they would have resumed the relationship.

Boyle, a few days after winning Got Talent in the UK, in 2009.

Until now, the only thing that fame seems not to have been able to give him is love.

Susan, who has always assured that

she has not had a formal relationship in her life,

recently told how in 2014 she met a "perfect gentleman".

"I don't want to say anything more about him right now because I wouldn't be being fair to him, but we do have more or less the same age and he's a very nice guy," explained Susan, who, however, also added that the relationship is not it went further because it was "not practical" in the long term.

Two years after her last album, and 12 years since she fulfilled a dream that led her to be awarded best female artist at the 2012 World Music Awards, Boyle continues to

reside in the same

social

housing

in the small town of West Loathian. , Scotland, where he has spent most of his life.

Although neither she nor the house, renovated with the millions who has reported music are the same, Susan wants to

keep the essence of always: "I like to

have their feet on the ground when I missed my roots.

I have too many memories here. "
