THIS is the heartbreaking final recording of Olivia Campbell singing at a music lesson before her death in a terror attack.
Her singing teacher, Wendy Rees, aged 61, has shared the poignant recording in tribute to Olivia.
The Tottington High School pupil, from Bury, can be heard singing This Woman's Work, by Kate Bush.
It was made in the past few weeks, in preparation for her music GCSE assessment.
Before the attack, the 15-year-old had been looking at her options for furthering her dream.
She had been considering going to Bury College or a musical academy in Manchester.
Mrs Rees remembered her as a 'beautiful soul' and said she was a hard worker.
Mrs Rees said: "I have some wonderful memories of her performing in my studio and in my annual showcase at Elton Liberal Club.
"I'm going to miss her."
Mrs Rees said she had been teaching Olivia every Tuesday afternoon for almost two years and she could turn her voice to any genre of music.
She added Olivia was a keen ballroom dancer and said she had made recordings for her dance teacher, which had been used for routines.

Mrs Rees, who teaches from a studio at her home in Bolton Road, said: "I remember she really wanted to sing There You'll Be and she kept saying 'I'll never hit that big note' and I said 'you will'.
"I gave her a technique to do it and do you know what, she got it before the end of the lesson."
She added she was extremely proud of Olivia and said she would miss their weekly lessons.
