AMERICA’S Got Talent star Nightbirde posted about “not giving up” as the first episode post-auditions aired.
The contestant- whose real name Jane Marczewski- recently left the competition show over her battle with cancer.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Nightbirde shared a screenshot of her tweet that read: “Don’t you want to see what happens if you don’t give up?”
Nightbirde captioned the post: “This isn’t just about my story, maybe it’s about yours too.”
The caption concluded with the hashtags #seeJaneWin, #seeJaneWinAgain and #nightbirde.
‘SO SAD’
Earlier this month, the 30-year-old revealed that she was leaving the show after impressing the judges during the auditions.
Nightbirde took to Instagram to share a black-and-white photo of herself looking away, as she wrote: “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.”
The AGT star continued: “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.”
Nightbirde concluded: “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.”
HER HEALTH BATTLE
In a previous blog post on her website, Nightbirde revealed she was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2019 after “innumerable tumors were found throughout my lungs, liver, lymph nodes, ribs, and spine,” and she was told she had “six months to live.”
She went into remission in July 2020, though the cancer returned.
Shortly after her audition, Nightbirde’s fanbase grew.
Among her fans was judge Simon Cowell, who was so impressed with her emotional performance that he decided to send her straight to the live shows.
In addition to Simon, the AGT judging panel currently includes Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel.
