“America’s Got Talent” contestant Jane Marczewski, who performs under the stage name Nightbirde, has dropped out of the competition due to her ongoing battle with cancer.
“Important Announcement!!” Marczewski wrote in a Facebook post on Monday. “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.”
Marczewski first appeared on the June 8 episode of the current 16th season of the NBC competition series. Her performance of her original song “I’m Okay” wowed the judges, earning her a Golden Buzzer from an emotional Simon Cowell.
