Former America’s Got Talent contestant Jane ‘Nightbirde’ Marczewski has died at the age of 31, 6 months after her battle with cancer led her to withdraw from the competition.
The singer, who used the stage name Nightbirde, passed away on Sunday following months of treatment after the disease had spread to her lungs, spine, and liver, a source told TMZ.
Marczewski amazed the America’s Got Talent judges and viewers alike when she performed a poignant original song, ‘It’s Okay,’ for her audition in June, earning a Golden Buzzer from judge Simon Cowell.

Less than two months later, she stunned everyone again by announcing that she had to quit because her cancer had ‘taken a turn for the worse’.
Marczewski was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. She was in remission when it returned in a metastatic state.
DOCTORS GAVE NIGHTBIRDE A 2% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL
In 2019, a doctor gave her a two percent chance of survival, estimating she only had three to six months to live.
She once again beat the odds and was in remission when the cancer returned in 2021 for the third and final time.
May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
