Beyonce has joined millions the world over in paying tribute to the brave cancer patient Lyric Chanel, who has sadly died aged 13.

The youngster, who was a huge fan of the singer’s, had become a viral sensation as she shared her valiant two-year battle against brain cancer and anaplastic ependymoma.

Despite mass removal surgery in November 2020, the tumor returned and tragically spread to other parts of her body two months later. A development that saw doctors establish that there was not much more they could do.

She passed away today (March 5).
