Beyonce pays tribute to late fan Lyric Chanel with emotional medley and video
13-year-old internet sensation died from brain cancer on Friday 5 March
Beyonce has released an emotional tribute video in honour of her late fan Lyric Chanel.
Chanel died aged 13 from brain cancer on Friday (5 March), as reported by Vulture.
The pop star honoured her memory with a video montage of Chanel set over an acapella medley of her songs “Brown Skin Girl”, “Halo” and “Love on Top”.
Beyonce concluded the two-minute clip stating: “I love you with all of my heart, Chanel.”
Chanel gained a large online following over the previous two years, during which she documented her life with brain cancer and anaplastic ependymoma on Instagram.
After she posted a video of herself singing Beyonce’s 2011 hit song “Love on Top” in September last year, the Grammy winner sent her a bouquet of flowers.
Chanel’s family have since responded to the touching video on Instagram in a post that reads: “Thank you so much. I’m so grateful that Lyric was able to hear you sing to her before she left this world.”
