Sunderland singer Faye Fantarrow brings forward debut song release due to brain tumour health concerns

Singing sensation Faye Fantarrow who is currently undergoing experimental treatment for a brain tumour has brought forward the release of her new song, as she says "life very rarely goes to plan".

The 20-year-old singer, described by her mentor Dave Stewart as a 'rare jewel', decided to announce her new lead track AWOL earlier than planned as her health remains so uncertain. It was released on Friday on Bay Street Records.

Its the label of Eurythmics' star Stewart - also from Sunderland - who signed her in 2021 and refers to her as a "rare jewel from the North East". AWOL's release coincides with World Cancer Day, this Saturday, February 4.
