Singer Faye Fantarrow has died aged 21 after being signed to Eurythmics legend Dave Stewart\u2019s music label and being hailed as one of the UK\u2019s brightest young talents<\/p>\n
The British-born musician was killed by a rare brain tumour and died on Saturday (26.08.23), her mum Pam has announced. <\/p>\n
Her family revealed her passing in a post on Faye\u2019s Instagram page by captioning a black-and-white shot of the singer dipping her hand into water with a long caption that opened with the words: \u201cWe are beyond grief, We are broken beyond repair, We are cast adrift, beyond despair.\u201d<\/p>\n
They added there was now a \u201cgaping void\u201d in their lives after Faye died at home after twice beating leukaemia since learning she had cancer at ages eight and 13. <\/p>\n
She was then diagnosed with a rare glioma brain tumour in September 2022. <\/p>\n
\nHer family added: \u201cFaye fought with a strength and bravery that kept her with those she so desperately loved and who loved her beyond compare. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cFaye was the sun, the light, the life we all gravitated to and wanted to be near, she gave us joy, laughter, and the gift of her music, she was the kindest most generous soul who had so much living left to do.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nThey signed off the message with: \u201cShine bright my baby.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nEurythmics guitarist and songwriter Dave, 70, replied to the post: \u201cShe Broke The Mould, This Breaks My Heart.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nIn 2021, Faye was signed to his Bay Street Records label and they had been working on an EP together. <\/p>\n
\nDave added in a statement: \u201cI can\u2019t 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 tumour. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cFaye was a joy to be around, full of fun, laughter and sharp as a razor \u2013 a true artist in every sense. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cBeing with her and watching her at work is a diamond stuck in my head, moments I will never forget. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019m lucky to have met Faye and her Mum Pam, two humans together battling against all odds for Faye\u2019s survival. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt has been both traumatic and beautiful to witness their strength and dignity, and I am so sorry the world only got to witness Faye\u2019s genius for such a short time. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cShe is one of the true greats, a northern girl on fire with her lyrics and melodies. I loved her deeply.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nBorn on 28 April 28, 2002, Faye was tipped as \u2018One to Watch\u201d by BBC Music Introducing, and in 2021 received Alan Hull\u2019s annual Songwriting Award. <\/p>\n
\nThrough a fund-raising campaign to pay for experimental treatment at City of Hope, she raised more than \u00a3235,000 in the first of several planned trips to California in a battle against her deadly tumour. <\/p>\n
\nBut she was too sick to return for follow-up care, her publicists said. <\/p>\n
\nExcess funds raised by the campaign were donated to charity to fund further research in her memory, they added. <\/p>\n
\nFaye said at the time of the release of her single \u2018AWOL\u2019 in May: \u201cLife very rarely goes to plan, but the plan was always to write, sing and perform, and I\u2019ve been lucky to be able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
