We’re saddened to report the death of Ebony Banks, the cancer-stricken teen who just last week received a FaceTime call from her absolute favorite artist, Beyoncé.
Ebony’s classmates went hard with a social media campaign to get Bey on the phone, and it worked – clearly just in time. According to Houston publication KHOU, Ebony lost her battle just four days later. Below is a photo of a beautiful vigil they put together for her.
Rest in peace, beautiful.
