- Family supports her unexpected career resurgence.
Sheila Diamond, a 63-year-old grandmother from Bolton, has unexpectedly achieved global fame after a video of her performing Gala's Freed From Desire went viral online. With 34 years of experience as a professional vocalist in the Manchester area, Sheila had been considering a slower pace of life.
However, a barmaid's recording of her energetic performance in a Chorley club captured the public's imagination. The clip's widespread circulation has led to an unprecedented surge in booking requests from international fans in countries such as Spain, Portugal, and even Australia, with one request to perform in Malta.
Sheila, who will turn 64 in July, is embracing this new chapter, acknowledging that singing is more than a job; it's a deep passion. Her family, including her husband, children, and grandchildren, are fully supportive of her renewed career.
Despite the positive attention, Sheila has faced challenges, particularly with online trolls. She has found it difficult to cope with negative comments but now has her son manage her social media, ensuring she only sees the positive feedback.
