TORONTO - Susan Boyle, the Scottish singer who became a YouTube sensation, is set to sing in Toronto later this month.
The Nov. 26 show will be her only Canadian appearance.
Boyle became an Internet smash earlier this year after her audition on the TV show "Britain's Got Talent."
While judges initially seemed skeptical of her frumpy appearance and quirky mannerisms, they were ultimately bowled over by her powerful pipes when she began to sing "I Dreamed A Dream."
The "Les Miserables" song serves as the title of Boyle's debut album, which drops Nov. 23.
It includes the singer covering the Rolling Stones classic "Wild Horses," as well as her take on "Daydream Believer," by the Monkees.
The lunchtime show, to be held at a downtown mall, will be free of charge.
Boyle, who finished second on the British talent show, had difficulty grappling with her sudden rise to prominence.
The former church volunteer had to be hospitalized for exhaustion after her run on the program and said fame hit her like a "giant demolition ball."
