Susan Boyle, the Scottish singer who became an overnight sensation while competing on "Britain's Got Talent," revealed Sunday that she had a stroke last year.

The 62-year-old mezzo-soprano shared the health update on live TV when she returned for the Season 16 finale of the talent show that launched her career in 2009. Boyle joined Lucie Jones of the West End Cast of "Les Misérables" to perform "I Dreamed a Dream," her original audition song from 14 years ago that plucked the the modest church volunteer from obscurity and made her a YouTube superstar.
