On the other hand, should the Sun start fading for some reason,
The sun won't fade (in theory that is)
When the sun dies, the core becomes weak, the sun expands (consuming the earth with it's flames) and after that it collapses and becomes a black hole. That'll happen 6 billion years in the future, but before that would happen, the sun will be consumed by another black hole (that'll happen 4 billion years in the future)
IIRC that is...
