Boyle 'will sing' at Glasgow show | |
(about 7 hours later) | |
Britain's Got Talent tour organisers have said Susan Boyle will perform in Glasgow later after she pulled out of two concerts on Sunday. | |
A spokesman said Boyle - runner-up in ITV1's talent show - would "definitely go ahead" with the performance. | |
