Set to perform at the opening night of the Britain’s Got Talent Tour on Friday in Birmingham, Susan Boyle has “really bounced back” from her hospitalization for exhaustio her brother Gerry tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
“I spoke with Susan last night and she was in great spirits,” he said. “She said to me ‘I’m up to do the show’, so we fully expect her to take the stage tonight and the impression I got was that she was doing very well.”
There were rumors that the songbird would not show-up for the first night after she failed to turn-up for rehearsals but she was spotted arriving in Birmingham in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes.
“Susan has really bounced back after her treatment at The Priory and I’m convinced she will take part in the tour,” Boyle’s brother continued. “But it is important that people realize that this is not just the ‘Susan Boyle Show’ and that they are going to see some other great acts performing too.”
He was also re-assured that the American Idol guru Simon Cowell – who is going to manage his sister’s career – will keep her on track after her recent health set-back.
“I was very pleased to hear what Simon was telling me and I’m convinced that they will look after Susan while coming-up with a plan that will promote her career in the Uk and America too,” Gerry revealed. “The most important thing is that Susan trusts him and she is raring to go and to really launch her musical career.”
The Britain’s Got Talent Tour consists of 23 dates around the UK until July 5, 2009, at which time Boyle is expected to fly over to America for a promotional push which will be orchestrated by Cowell.

In the exclusive interview, Gerry also revealed that his famous sister is getting stronger each day. “I just spoke with Susan where she is still being treated at The Priory Clinic and she is doing a lot better. She will get out sooner than expected and she can’t wait to come over to America to perform because she really appreciates how well the American public reacted to her story.”
While she was “a bit down” after coming second in Britain’s Got Talent, Gerry says that “Simon Cowell reached out to her and told her that she should have no worries about her career in the future.”
“A management team has been put in place and Susan will work with them under Simon’s guidance to make sure she makes the right decisions and goes at the correct pace.”

Reports surfaced earlier Wednesday that Boyle would not be able to go on The Britain’s Got Talent tour because she was still suffering from exhaustion after not winning last weekend’s finale.
But her brother said that this was still very much an option for his sister. “Once Susan is feeling 100 percent I don’t see any reason why she couldn’t do the tour and also go across to America too. There are a lot of offers on the table and it would be a matter of setting out priorities for her . She realizes that Britain’s Got Talent as a competition is over and she is really concentrating on her future and is ready to embrace that.”
Besides the possible fortune and unparalleled fame, why is she zeroing in on America?
“Even when she was feeling down she really appreciated the support that she received from people around the world especially from America,” Gerry added. “When she did Larry King and Oprah she loved all the fans and she relates to the ‘can do’ attitude that America has to offer.”
One other thing she has to look forward to once she goes home: “She told me that she can’t wait to get home and cuddle-up with her cat Pebbles, who is now probably the most famous cat in the world!”

Britain's Got Talent officials are concerned that Susan Boyle -- still in the custody of a London mental health clinic after losing on the show's finale Saturday -- might not be able to appear on the show's upcoming arena tour, the UK Sun reported.
The Web site reported that thousands of tickets (which cost about $53 each) have already been sold for the tour, and the show's promoters fear there will be a strong backlash if the 48-year-old spinster, easily the troupe's strongest attraction, is unable to perform.
