“America’s Got Talent” singer Jane Marczewski, who goes by “Nightbirde,” died at age 31 after a years-long battle with cancer, TMZ reports.
The Liberty University graduate and Zanesville, Ohio native passed away Sunday after months of undergoing treatments for cancer which had spread to her lungs, spine and liver, according to the outlet.
Marczewski stunned AGT judges last year with her original song, “It’s Okay,” which brought Simon Cowell to tears.
“I have a 2% chance of survival, but 2% is not zero. 2% is something and I wish people knew how amazing it is,” Marczewski said at the time before Cowell gave her the golden buzzer.
