Jane Marczewski wrote songs about the last year of her life, in which she fought cancer without letting herself down.
Singer Jane Marczewski, who became world-famous after performing on the American Got Talent show after singing the song It’s OK, which she composed during treatment for lung, spine, and liver cancer, died on Monday, 21, at age 31.
According to a source told TMZ, the disease had spread to the lungs, liver, and spine, as the artist herself had told on the “Got Talent” stage. According to Nightbirde, she had her first diagnosis in 2017: breast cancer. After a period of remission, the disease returned, but in metastases that reached other organs.
During her first performance on the show, when Jane told a little about her health, what moved the judges was that Nightbirde, the singer’s adopted stage name, didn’t seem sad, or downcast. In the songs, she defended that she had chosen to be happy. And it’s okay to have some problems, everyone does.
“It’s important that people know more than the bad things that happen to me,” Nightbirde said on the day of her audition.
The singer received a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell at her audition on America’s Got Talent in 2021, but was unable to proceed with the competition, unfortunately, Jane’s health condition prevented her from performing. In the final of the competition, Nightbirde made a video call with the judges and the presenter of the program, in which she explained the reason for her absence and took the opportunity to say that all that reception was the best thing that had happened in her life, in addition to spending a message of strength to encourage anyone watching the show. “We all suffer and we all have the potential to overcome.”
The show’s host, Terry Crews, used social media to honor the singer.
“We are saddened to hear of Nightbirde’s passing. Our condolences go out to her family and closest friends at this difficult time. We love you, Nightbirde.” Show judge Heidi Klum also posted on her Instagram “We love you. Rest in peace, Nightbirde.”
Howie Mandel, one of the judges for the competition, also spoke about the news. On Twitter, he called Marczewski “an inspiring light in our lives.”
“We must continue to live and learn from her words and compositions. Even though I feel horrible about her death, I feel lucky to have met, heard, and known her.”
