Susan has been keeping herself busy with her music career, and has revealed she has no plans to retire.
She said in an interview: “I’m definitely not retiring, that’s for sure. Look at one of my idols Elaine Paige, she’s 73 and still performing.”
Susan added to The Scottish Sun: “I love what I do and want to keep doing it so long as the public enjoys it.
“I’m going to hang on for dear life to what I do.”

Susan isn’t one to flash her cash, and she still lives in her childhood home in Blackburn.
She paid £111,000 to own the semi-detached former council house next door to create her dream home.
During lockdown she has been shielding due to being in the high risk category. She suffers from type 2 diabetes.
Instead of appearing on stage, she has been singing to her vocal coach via video call.
But she hopes to make a new record and tour again in the future.
