She took part in a casting show in the USA and her performance went around the world. And touched millions – who are now mourning her. Singer Jane Marczewski (stage name “Nightbirde”) has died at the age of 31.
The singer took part in the talent show “America’s Got Talent”, the US version of “Das Supertalent”, in 2021 and sang her own song “It’s OK” into the hearts of viewers and judges. Among them Heidi Klum (48), who was speechless by the voice and authenticity of the singer from the state of Ohio.
An unshakeable will to survive
But it wasn’t just the song and her fate that affected many, but how Jane “Nightbirde” Marczewski dealt with her fate.
Though the advanced cancer had spread through her body, she touched with phrases like, “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard before you decide to be happy.”
Her motto, never give up: “I have a two percent chance of survival, but two percent is not zero percent.”
In her latest Instagram post on Jan. 11, nearly eight months after her performance aired on America’s Got Talent, the singer wrote, “Honestly, everything’s been pretty brutal lately. But this is a photo of me from last week feeling pretty and alive and awake and human and real. That is what I needed. We’re all a little lost and it’s okay.”
Four years after her initial diagnosis and after months of trying therapy, Jane “Nightbirde” Marczewski died on February 19, her family said in a statement.
“We love you. Rest in peace, Nightbirde”, with these words her judge Heidi Klum said goodbye to the young singer on her Instagram page.
