Chanel, who was 13 years old, died on Friday morning after battling anaplastic ependymoma, a tumor that develops when cells in the central nervous system begin to multiply rapidly. In children, the tumor often occurs in the brain.
Beyoncé sang some of her hits like “Brown Skin Girl”, “Halo” and “Love on Top” while videos and photos of Chanel danced across the screen.
When Beyoncé sang ‘Love on Top’, she switched the lyrics from ‘baby’ to ‘Lyric’. “Lyric, it’s you,” she sings.
Chanel was no stranger to Beyoncé.
In September, Beyoncé sent flowers to Chanel while recovering from her fourth brain surgery.
Near the flowers was a card that read, “Honey, honey, I can see the stars all the way from here, I can feel the sun when you are around. I was so moved to see how these lyrics inspired you, long not as much as you’ve inspired me. I can’t wait to meet you one day and I’m so glad you’re home safely. You’re a survivor. God bless, B. “
“I love you with all my heart,” Beyoncé said closing the video.
