Avalanna Routh, a brave 6-year-old whose adoration of pop star Justin Bieber earned her the nickname “Mrs. Bieber,” has lost her fight against cancer.
“Our darling Avalanna went to Heaven this morning. Oh Avalanna, the brightest star – you took our hearts with you, our greatest Love,” was posted to her Twitter account early Wednesday.
Routh had a rare, aggressive form of brain cancer called AT/RT, which was explained during the “Stand Up To Cancer” benefit in September:As Routh sought treatment at a Boston facility last year, the nurses there decided to throw the Bieber fan a pretend wedding. She tied the knot with a cutout of the 18-year-old singer, and she soon had the chance to meet her “husband” in person.
Bieber flew Routh and her parents to New York in February for a pre-Valentine’s Day date that included board games and cupcakes. At the time, Bieber told his followers on Twitter that he was hanging out with “a special little girl, #MrsBieber.”
Learning of Routh’s passing on Wednesday, Bieber tweeted, “just got the worst news ever. one of the greatest spirits i have ever known is gone. please pray for her family and for her. RIP Avalanna. i love you.”
He later added that he missed Routh, and shared a photo.
