Brit Award winner heartbroken as car is stolen on her birthday – and all the songs for her second album are gone
A BRIT Award-winning singer has been left heartbroken after her car was stolen on her birthday.
The star also revealed their songwriting books had been in the vehicle’s boot.
RAYE – real name Rachel Agatha Keen – made history earlier this year by scooping six awards at the Brits.
Taking to Instagram, the 27-year-old shared snaps from her birthday alongside the sad update.
RAYE penned: “It’s my birthday and my car got stolen with all my song writing books in the boot so no second album any time soon love you bye.”
Showing support, one fan replied: “I’m starting my own investigation, we need that album.”
Another commented: “Operation find Raye‘s car….NOW!!!”
While a third wrote: “WHAT? raye so sorry your bday had to kick off with you getting robbed!? but also happy birthday queen.”
Yet another chimed in: “This is not acceptable, we need to find that car right NOW. Happy birthday queen.”
At the Brits, Raye triumphed in categories including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and R&B Act.
She smashed the previous record for number of awards collected in a single night.
Harry Styles, who claimed four gongs last year, had most recently achieved that feat.
When collecting her prize for Album of the Year, RAYE thanked her grandmother, Agatha Dawson, who joined her on stage.
She said: “I want to thank my grandma for her prayers. My grandma is awake until 3am praying for me and my beautiful sisters.
“I love you so much. My middle name is Agatha and this is Agatha Dawson.”
The impressive haul followed the success of RAYE‘s debut studio album My 21st Century Blues.
Just three years ago, the star was told her songs were not good enough to release on an album.
The South London-born vocalist had reached breaking point with Polydor Records, who she signed with at 17.
She previously wrote on social media: “I have been signed to a major label since 2014 and I have had albums on albums of music sat in folders collecting dust, songs I am now giving away to A-list artists because I am still awaiting confirmation that I am good enough to release an album.”
However, she parted ways with the record label in July 2021.
