'Glee' beauty Lea Michele has thanked her fans for being such a collective pillar of support to her over the last half of 2013 following the tragic and untimely death of her boyfriend and co-star, Cory Monteith. 

Tweeting about the beginning of 2014, Michele explained that she is so "grateful" to her followers for being there when she needed them:

"Wishing everyone a very happy new year... Sending much love."

She then added: "So grateful to all of you for all your endless love and support this year..."

She also recently announced that the second single to be taken from her debut studio album, 'Louder', will be called 'Battlefield' and it was released as an instant download on December 28 when people pre-ordered her record. Her debut single, 'Cannonball', was written by 'Titanium' hitmaker Sia Furler and was released on December 10.
