Nightbirde Shares Why She Won’t Be Returning to the AGT Stage

Two months ago the world was blown away not only by the voice and beautiful lyricism of Jane Marczewski but also by her grace, faith, and strength. We celebrated her Golden Buzzer moment on America’s Got talent after she performed a beautiful original song called “IT’S OKAY.

On the morning of August 2nd only 8 days before the LIVE shows began, Nightbirde shared on social media that she wouldn’t be returning to the AGT stage:

“Sharing my heart with the world on AGT has been an honor and a dream come true. My point of view this summer has been astounding. 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.

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.

Thank you for all your support, it means the world to me. Stay with me, I’ll be better soon. I’m planning my future, not my legacy. Pretty beat up, but I’ve still got dreams. #seejanewin #agt #seejanewinAGT #nightbirde”

Several Christian celebrities voiced their support and love in response to this news:

Some people may look at this and feel sad that Jane never got to compete on AGT or feel as if cancer has won. But God is doing a work in and through Jane that is MIGHTY.

Faith like her’s is rare. It is beautiful and inspiring. My prayer is that Jane’s strength will spill over onto the lost world that has fallen in love with her. My prayer is that the people who have fallen in love with Jane will fall in love with Jesus! 

Cancer does not have the final say. The final say belongs to the Lord. It has been an honor to #seejanewin time and time again and we know we will see it again.

I just happened to turn on AGT, right before you sang. And I couldn’t be more thankful that I did! Music has inspired me my whole life and has gotten me through the worst of times. Your lovely voice and attitude were fantastic, but the bearing of your a beautiful soul was awe inspiring . Regardless of what happens from here on out, you have made a difference in the minds of all who heard you perform. I wish you strength and serenity.💜

What a beautiful person inside and out. I love her quote, “You can’t wait till life isn’t hard anymore until you decide to be happy.” This attitude defines the difference between happy and joy. My prayer is that she gets plenty of both.
