Louise Redknapp's fanbase means everything to her, and during the week the star expressed her sadness as she learnt of the death of superfan Leanne Brown.
Leanne had supported Louise during both her Eternal days and her solo career and had taken to social media on numerous occasions to share her support for the singer, especially with the release of her recent Best Of... album. She also had pieces or merchandise that carried the message: "Keep calm and listen to Louise [Redknapp]."
Sharing a tribute to her fan, Louise shared photos of the duo meeting each other in Liverpool, with Leanne even getting a hug off of her idol.
"I am so deeply saddened to learn we have lost the beautiful Leanne," Louise penned alongside a broken heart emoji. "She was such an amazing supporter and such a lovely lady. I loved seeing you in Liverpool recently. Sending my love and my thoughts to all of Leanne's family and friends."
The singer's followers were quick to offer their support following the sad death, with one saying: "Oh my God no....I had the pleasure of meeting her at the 2020 Liverpool signing for Heavy Love. Rest in peace beautiful lady," and a second shared: "Thank you for your tribute to Leanne. We were friends through her love of football but I know how much you meant to her."

"I was really worried. But it's worked out well," she told the publication. "He's having an amazing time and because of the way the holidays are structured, he comes home a lot. He's done a year already, so he’s back at the moment for four months."

Having him back is amazing, but I'm also pleased he's living his life and having all these amazing experiences."
