America's Got Talent alum Jane 'Nightbirde' Marczewski has passed away after battling cancer. She was 31.
The entertainer, who was from Ohio, died on Sunday local time according to TMZ.
During her audition for last year's season 16 of the talent show where she performed an original song, judge Simon Cowell got emotional and gave her the highly-coveted Golden Buzzer. Halfway through the season, however, Nightbirde withdrew from the competition, announcing on social media that her health had taken a "turn for the worse."
"We are saddened to learn about [Nightbirde's] Passing. Our Condolences goes to her Closest Family & Friends in such of This difficult time. We Love you, Nightbirde," host Terry Crews wrote on Instagram on Monday local time.
Judge Heidi Klum wrote on her Instagram Story, "We love you. Rest in peace [Nightbirde]."
When she auditioned during the American summer last year, Nightbirde said that she "had some cancer in my lungs, spine and my liver."

"I have a two per cent chance of survival, but two per cent is not zero per cent," she told the audience.
"Two per cent is something, and I wish people knew how amazing it is."
Later that year, when the America's Got Talent finale aired in September, Nightbirde opened up about her complex emotions surrounding her cancer battle and missing the talent show as a result.
"It's so hard for me to not be on the [America's Got Talent] stage for the finals this week," the singer wrote on Instagram.
"I bet you never saw someone win so hard and lose so hard at the same time. This isn't how the story was supposed to go."

"I spend a lot of time squeezing my eyes shut and trying to remember what I believe; counting my breaths in the grief cloud; burying my face into God's T-shirt," she continued.
"I remind Him sometimes, (and not kindly) that I believed Him when He told me the story He wrote for me is good, and that He never stops thinking of me.
"I must be a fool in love, because even from under all this debris, I still believe Him. And when I'm too angry to ask Him to sit on my bed until I fall asleep, He still stays.
"Here we are, you and I, signing off on the risk of REBELLIOUSLY HOPING for better days. Let us not be blind to our own glory. I'm raging and crying and hoping with everyone who needs to rage and cry and hope tonight."
