After quickly capturing hearts all over the world, Nightbirde leaves AGT so she can focus on battling metastatic cancer that's ravaging her body. And as the judges say their goodbyes, Simon Cowell struggles to hold back his tears.
The amazing Nightbirde AGT performance that earned the golden buzzer has already been seen over 200 million times online. In it, the brave singer with cancer sang an original song titled 'It's Ok.'

“When you wrote ‘It’s Ok,’ did you have any idea it would have that big an impact on the world?” Terry Crews asks the talented singer.
“There’s no way I would have ever imagined that,” Nightbirde responds. “It’s a song I wrote for myself in the middle of the night when I needed those words so bad. And it’s beautiful to see the world welcome that song into their own dark night. I’m overwhelmed by it.”
As Nightbirde leaves the show, the judges talk to her about how much they enjoyed seeing her perform and share her talents with the world.
“Thank you for touching us with your song, with who you are. We were amazed by you,” shares Sofia Vergara.
“You are the poster-human for courage in the face of adversity, for poise, for beauty, and for fight,” Howie Mandel says.
Nightbirde Leaves Simon Fighting Back Tears
Simon follows up with an emotional message to Nightbirde where he is holding back his tears.
“You made the decision, rightly so, that your health is your priority right now. And I know that the last time we spoke, you actually said that you feel like you let people down. Well I just want to say on behalf of all of us, you haven’t let anyone down. Even though you haven’t competed, you’ve already won. Your clip has had such an impact on so many people,” he says.
“The most important thing is your well-being and your health and your recovery," Simon goes on to say. "On behalf of all of us here, we’re sending you our love, our prayers, and we can’t wait to see you again soon. Thank you so much for auditioning on the show and for singing such a beautiful song.”

I think it’s restored my faith in humanity a whole lot to see people come together, just over the fact that we all hurt and we all suffer and we all have the potential to overcome,” she says. “This is the most beautiful thing to ever happen to me in my life.”
