Tom Grennan devastated after young fan dies the night before her 9th birthday: ‘My little superstar’
Tom Grennan has revealed he is ‘crushed’ following the death of one of his fans.
The hitmaker confirmed on Wednesday that a fan named Amber had died the night before her ninth birthday.
Tom, 27, explained that Amber had been battling cancer and promised to ‘carry her spirit’ with him ‘forever’.
The Run in the Rain singer wrote on Twiter this week: ‘My little superstar Amber I wish I wasn’t writing this, your passing the night before your 9th birthday has crushed me.
‘I know you will be watching and singing at every gig I do and I’ll carry your spirit and smile with me forever. Love to the family x F*** you cancer! RIP Amber.’
Tom also shared a photo of himself cuddling Amber, who beamed from ear to ear in the sweet snap.

‘We’re sending the warmest wishes to you Tom.’’We’re sending the warmest wishes to you Tom.’
The tragedy comes after the singer announced the launch of his new podcast, The Tom Grennan Phone In.
He’ll be joined by a new special guest for every episode, and the podcast’s lineup is looking stellar, with the likes of Vicky McClure, Roman Kemp, Jaackmaate, Mimi Webb and Zara McDermott all swinging by for a chat.
