Night birde | It’s Okay

After appearing on AGT and winning, Night Birde passed away. ☹️

Previously having released two EPs and several singles, Nightbirde auditioned on America’s Got Talent in 2021, where she received a Golden Buzzer for her original song “It’s OK”. However, she decided to withdraw from AGT before the quarterfinals, because of worsening health due to cancer.

Marczewski was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, and declared cancer-free in July 2018. Her cancer recurred in 2019, and she was given three to six months to live, but she was again declared cancer-free in 2020. Prior to her America’s Got Talentaudition, Marczewski was told that the cancer had metastasized to her lungs, spine and liver. With only a 2% chance of survival, she gave health updates on CNN and social media.

Marczewski was married to musician Jeremy Claudio. The couple separated and divorcedin 2020, after which she moved from Nashvilleto Long Beach, California (where she was baptized).

Nightbirde sold merchandise on social media, and raised money for medical expenses via GoFundMe. She also wrote poetry and painted prior to her death. Frequently posting, the singer’s final message and selfie to social media was on January 11, 2022.

At the age of 31, Marczewski died from the disease on February 19, 2022. She was surrounded by family in her San Clementeresidence. The AGT judges and host released condolences on social media. A celebration of life, which was live streamed, was held at Cornerstone Church in Ohio on March 4, 2022.
