Susan Boyle is reported to be on the mend after an anxiety attack put her in a London mental hospital.
Boyle, who was reported to be close to a break down before the Britain’s Got Talent final, finally flipped after her shock second place.
The British press is speculating on whether Boyle will be fit for the Britain’s Got Talent concert tour show which is due to begin on June 12, although friends are saying that she may not even be fit for a recording contract.
“She doesn’t want to say no to recording,” claimed one source. “But everything else that comes with it? Concerts, television appearances? This is not what’s best for her. There has to be a way where she can sing and be financially secure, and not have to sacrifice her well-being.”

Grammy award winning blues legend Koko Taylor has died in her native Chicago at the age of 80.
Born Cara Walton, Koko had a career spanning over 40 years. First spotted in 1962, Koko landed a recording contract and recorded her best known song, “Wang Dang Doodle” in 1965. Wang Dang Doodle reached number four on the R&B charts in 1966, and sold a million copies.
Koko Taylor built a widespread fan base while touring in the 60’s and 70’s, leading to a contract with Alligator Records in 1975 that spanned over a dozen albums. Her work with Alligator saw her receive numerous Grammy Awards nominations (winning eventually in 1985), and taking out an unmatched twenty five W. C. Handy Awards (more than any other artist).
Koko toured without breaking, performing 200 shows a year until a heart attack slowed her down in 2003. Her last appearance on stage was on May 7, 2009 at the Memphis at the Blues Music Awards, where she fittingly sang Wang Dang Doodle one last time.
Koko Talyor is survived by her husband Hays Harris, her daughter Joyce Threatt, and several grand and great-grand children.
