Six-year-old brain tumour survivor from Somerset beats Stormzy to number one
A six-year-old girl from Somerset has beaten Stormzy to the number one spot in the Amazon download chart.
Lyra Cole covered the Christmas song 'When A Child is Born' to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research after she had emergency surgery for a tumour when she was five months old.
The young star has even had support from other artists who've covered the song. Sir Cliff Richard sent a video message to Lyra, congratulating her on her success.
Sir Cliff congratulated young Lyra on a "wonderful" song and said she was a "beautiful, brave young lady".
He praised the six-year-old as a "fantastic singer" and wished her luck in her chart success.
Initially misdiagnosed with a virus, doctors found a tumour the size of an orange on Lyra’s brain when she was just five months old.
She was then rushed to Frenchay Hospital where she spent 11 hours in emergency surgery.
