NIGHTBIRDE'S DEATH Shortly before her America's Got Talent audition in June 2021, Nightbirde told the judges that her breast cancer had spread to her spine and liver and she had a 2% chance of survival. The songstress did not let the news stop her performance.

It's important to know that I'm so much more than the bad things that happen to me, she confidently said during the audition.

MARCZEWSKI FAMILY RELEASE FLY' Taking to Nightbirde's Instagram account on 23 July, the Marczewski family shared that they felt the world should see some of the singer's last memories from her cellphone.

So we layered that with one of her songs, Fly and teamed up with a long-time friend of Jane's, Ryan Carl, to weave together these moments for an official Fly music video.

We will leave you all with Jane's words we started with: Because hope is the bird that sings even when she can't see the dawn.
