Faye Fantarrow, the British singer-songwriter mentored and produced by Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart, died at her home Saturday a year after being diagnosed with the aggressive and rare brain tumor known as glioma.

She was 21. Fantarrow’s death was announced by her mother Pam Fantarrow and on the singer’s official social media pages last night.

The young woman had twice beaten childhood leukemia at ages 8 and 13. “Faye was a joy to be around, full of fun, laughter and sharp as a razor — a true artist in every sense,” Stewart said in a statement. “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.
