Boyle's brother 'fears she'll be killed'

Boyle's brother 'fears she'll be killed'


Susan Boyle's brother has expressed fears that the singer could be assassinated like John Lennon.

John Boyle spoke out following the news that his sister found an intruder at her residence in Blackburn, West Lothian as she returned home on Tuesday night.

The security scare followed a previous incident at Christmas when the Britain's Got Talent star spotted two strangers peering through her back window.

John, 59, told The Sun: "I am very upset about the lack of security. Her management company are too busy counting the money Susan has made them to consider her safety.

"The family have told them several times that vast improvements need to be made to avoid something like this happening. This is the second time something has happened to Susan at her home and it is extremely worrying.

"Susan is a massive world star and needs better protection. You look at what happened to John Lennon in New York - it's really worrying."

Lennon was shot dead in December 1980 by crazed fan Mark Chapman, who still remains behind bars.
