Simon Cowell and James Arthur have joined other celebrities in tweeting support for a song by a tragic 15-year-old girl who has died from cancer.

Georgina Anderson died on Thursday - just four months after being diagnosed with an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer, the Evening Gazette reports.

The teenager, who had a lifelong dream of having her music heard across the globe - was told that she had exhausted all treatment shortly before her 15th birthday last month.

And sadly, the youngster, from Marske on Teeside, who was wheeled onto the Riverside Stadium pitch last weekend while her song Two Thirds of a Piece was  played to 14,000 fans  , passed away at home.
