Afterward, Boyle said of being back on the show, "It feels great," adding, "It is extra-special for me, actually, because last April there I suffered a minor stroke."
Susan added, "I have fought like crazy to get back onstage. And I have done it."
Judge Simon Cowell told her, “Susan, we owe you so much and I knew you weren’t well, but if anyone was going to come back, you were going to come back, because it wouldn’t be the same without you.”
