Olivia Wise, Teen Who Suffered From Cancer That Covered Katy Perry’s ‘ROAR,’ Dies [VIDEO]

The KISS family is sad to report that Olivia Wise, the 16-year-old with an inoperable brain tumor who previously covered Katy Perry‘s ‘ROAR’, has died.

Olivia, who recorded Perry’s life-affirming anthem in a Toronto recording studio in September,

“died peacefully in her home, surrounded by the extraordinary love of her family,”

according to a statement her family provided to CNN.

Wise was diagnosed with brain cancer in Jan. 2012, and after learning that she could no longer be treated she recorded her cover of ‘ROAR’ in September.. Perry herself got wind of the video and even posted a response video on YouTube, offering her love and support to Olivia.

“I saw your video and I was very moved and you sounded great,” Perry said at the time. “I love you. A lot of people love you and that’s why your video got to me. It moved everybody that saw it. So just wanted to send you some love and some light, and tell you that I am thinking about you. Thank you so much. Keep roaring.”

The video helped raise $77,000 for the Liv Wise Fund, which is an organization our that supports brain tumor research and was, of course, named after this exceptional teen.

All our love and prayers are for the Wise family this holiday season...

Perry tweeted about Olivia’s passing, as well.
