London, May 31 (IANS) Scottish singer Susan Boyle is set to start her maiden American tour after achieving global stardom since appearing on “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009.

The “I Dreamed a Dream” singer, known as SuBo, shot to fame on ITV talent show “Britain’s Got Talent” and has since become a global star, winning an American fan base who will see her perform as part of her 2014 world tour.

“This is a brilliant moment for me. I am so very proud to be announcing that I will be performing in my very own tour in the US. This is very exciting,” contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.
