A do singer ruined being bombastic (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grandiose

'bombastic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a do singer ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'do'+'singer'='adosinger'
'adosinger' anagrammed gives 'GRANDIOSE'.

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for grandiose that I've seen before include "Pretentiously imposing -- organised (anag)" , "Planned on a magnificent scale" , "Pretentiously impressive" , "Pretentiously magnificent" , "Impressive, magnificent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
