You can't keep a good Boyle down. Not for too long, anyway.

After sitting out two of the first five shows on Britain's Got Talent's U.K. tour, Susan Boyle is back and ready to belt out her signature tunes—all two of them—in no less a comeback locale than her home country.

Boyle is expected to rejoin the 21-date tour in Glasgow tonight.

Despite exhaustion-sparked uncertainty in the run-up to the tour's launch on Friday, Boyle did indeed join her fellow finalists on the tour's kickoff, and performed again twice the following day with matinee and evening shows in Sheffield.

After the performances, which received standing ovations—save for a brief round of booing after she stumbled over the lyrics, ironically enough, to "Memory"—Boyle sat out Sunday's double bill.

"Following three sensational performances, Susan Boyle has been advised to rest," her spokesman announced over the weekend. "She sends her sincere apologies to her fans for not appearing in Manchester."

Fans in the city were still treated to a video montage of Boyle's reality show journey, which prompted another round of minor booing.

Concert organizers gave particularly peeved ticketholders the option of a refund to make up for Boyle's absence, though only seven fans took them up on the offer.
