IT’S a Dreamed A Dream come true for Susan Boyle as she shakes Pope Francis’ hand – before singing for him at the Vatican.
The devout Catholic, 58, admitted it was a “huge honour” to meet the church leader.

She said: “I have to pinch myself at how lucky I am.”
Former Britain’s Got Talent star Subo joined icons Lionel Richie, 70, and Bonnie Tyler, 68, at the pontiff’s annual Christmas concert.

The festive show was part of the church’s pledge to help save the Amazon rainforest.



Susan’s performance came nine years after she serenaded Pope Benedict in Glasgow.

She performed at an open-air mass in Bellahouston Park in front of 70,000 worshippers.

the singer said last night: “To be at the Vatican meeting the Pope was such a humbling experience and to be asked to take part in his Christmas concert was a true honour.

“I have to pinch myself at how lucky I am and ten years on I’m still having the most fantastic time with these incredible opportunities.

“I don’t and won’t ever take this for granted.”
