America’s Got Talent fans are mourning the loss of Jane “Nightbirde” Marczewski, who has died at the age of 31 following a long battle with cancer.
The season 16 performer sadly passed away on Sunday, February 20, according to a new report from TMZ, claiming the disease had spread to her lungs, spine and liver in recent months.
Nightbirde previously received Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer thanks to her talent and inspiring life story. The “It’s Okay” singer later spoke out about why she had to focus on her health mid-season via Instagram in August 2021.
“Since my audition, my health has taken a turn for the worse and the fight with cancer is demanding all of my energy and attention. I am so sad to announce that I won’t be able to continue forward on this season of AGT,” she shared at the time.
“Life doesn’t always give breaks to those that deserve it — but we knew that already. Thank you for all your support, it means the world to me.”
On Monday, February 21, judge Howie Mandel was one of the many to pay his respects and share his condolences.
“@_nightbirde was such a bright inspirational light in all our lives. We must continue to live and learn from her words and lyrics. As much as I feel horribly about her passing, I feel lucky to have met, heard and known her,” he wrote.
