Faye Fantarrow dead: British singer, mentored by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, tragically dies aged just 21 after battling a rare brain tumor
British singer Faye Fantarrow has tragically passed away at just 21 years old.
The singer died at home on Saturday after a brave battle with a rare brain tumor glioma, a year after she was diagnosed.
The family released a statement announcing Faye’s passing and said they were “heartbroken” as they paid tribute.
They said, “Faye had wisdom, compassion and understanding beyond her age.
“We are past the grief. We are beyond repair. We’re adrift, ahead of despair.
“We are bereft of a love that surpassed the stars, the moon, and the sun.

“There is a yawning void in our lives that can never be filled: our beautiful, compassionate, intelligent and immensely talented girl is gone.
Faye fought with strength and courage that kept her with those she loved so desperately and who loved her unparalleled.
“Faye was the sun, the light, the life we all gravitated towards and wanted to be close to, she gave us joy, laughter and the gift of her music, she was the kindest and most generous sol who had so much left to shine clear my baby.’
Faye was diagnosed with the rare glioma in her brain in September last year.
It was a devastating blow to the family, as she had beaten leukemia twice after being diagnosed with cancer at the ages of eight and eighteen.
