Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle sparked complaints from frequent flyers on Tuesday after she reportedly began singing into a mop in a bizarre meltdown at London’s Heathrow Airport.
The sometimes-unstable Susan stunned travelers by dancing and belting out songs into a mop head in a first-class lounge, while awaiting a British Airways (BA) flight to Chicago, Illinois to film a segment on The Oprah Winfrey Show, according to Britain’s The Sun.
“It was chaos. Susan was very restless and agitated from the minute she walked in and immediately started making a scene. She was singing and dancing around, shouting obscenities at full volume,” says one spywitness.
During her bizarre performance, which sparked complaints to staff, she also used the mop to polish passengers’ shoes. Boyle, affectionately known as SuBo, then fled the lounge, yelling, “I’ve escaped, I’ve escaped!” Airport employees were called to quiet Susan down after she began shouting obscenities.
A spokesperson for British Airways confirms the incident, saying: “A customer in the BA lounge on Tuesday was asked to temper their behaviour as it was becoming disruptive.”
The exhausted Susan was famously admitted to a London clinic in May after losing the championship round on the UK talent series Britain’s Got Talent.
The singer, 48, whose debut album “I Dreamed a Dream” has sold more than three million copies worldwide.
