Faye Fantarrow, a U.K. singer-songwriter whose launching appeared previously this year, has actually passed away at age 21, her press agent verified. The climbing neo-soul skill passed away on Aug. 26, and also her fatality was initially revealed on social media sites on Aug. 31 by her mommy, Pam.
Fantarrow formerly beat leukemia two times because being very first detected at 8 years of ages. Nearly a year earlier, medical professionals uncovered an unusual Glioma lump in her mind. The launch day of her launching EP, AWOL, was gone up to an earlier day (Feb. 10) to suit the grim diagnosis; around the moment of its launch, Billboard hailed her distinct singing wording and also the pulsing rhythm of the EP’s title track. AWOL appeared on Dave Stewart’s Bay Street Records; following her death, the Eurythmics participant shared exactly how “devastated” Fantarrow’s fatality left him in a declaration.
“I can’t put into words how devastated I was when, just after spending an amazing creative time with Faye last summer making her debut album, Faye found out she had this very aggressive brain tumor,” Stewart stated. “Faye was a joy to be around, full of fun, laughter and sharp as a razor — a true artist in every sense. Being with her and watching her at work is a diamond stuck in my head, moments I will never forget. I’m lucky to have met Faye and her Mum Pam, two humans together battling against all odds for Faye’s survival. It has been both traumatic and beautiful to witness their strength and dignity and I am so sorry the world only got to witness Faye’s genius for such a short time. She is one of the true greats, a northern girl on fire with her lyrics and melodies. I loved her deeply.”
“There is a gaping void in our lives that can never be filled, our beautiful, compassionate, intelligent and immensely talented girl has gone,” her mommy Pam wrote in a social networks blog post. “Faye fought with a strength and bravery that kept her with those she so desperately loved and who loved her beyond compare.”
Prior to her fatality, Fantarrow increased £235,000 (near to $300,000 USD) on Justgiving for a speculative therapy in California. She saw the U.S. for the very first therapy yet showed also unwell for follow-ups. The money from the Justgiving project was “donated to a charity to fund further life-saving research in Faye’s memory,” per reps.
