AGT singer Nightbirde quits show after Golden Buzzer earner reveals her cancer has taken a ‘turn for the worse’
AMERICA'S Got Talent singer Nightbirde has quit the show after the Golden Buzzer earner revealed her cancer has now taken a "turn for the worse."
The 30-year-old, real name Jane Marczewski, impressed Simon Cowell so much with her emotional performance he decided to send her straight to the live shows.
"What a miracle that the pain I’ve walked through can be reworked into beauty that makes people all over the world open their eyes wider."
She continued: "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. Life doesn’t always give breaks to those that deserve it—but we knew that already."
She added doctors had given her only a 2 percent chance of survival, as judge Howie Mandel said, “So… you’re not OK?”
Nightbirde responded: “Well, not in every way, no.”
On a previous , Nightbirde revealed that in 2019, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer after “innumerable tumors were found throughout my lungs, liver, lymph nodes, ribs, and spine," and she was told she had "six months to live."
In July 2020 she went into remission, however, the cancer would return.
