Roslyn Singleton has died at the age of 39 after being diagnosed with brain cancer in 2013.
She was a fan favourite following her appearances on America's Got Talent and The Ellen Show and her death was confirmed by her husband in a heartbreaking Instagram post.
Fellow America's Got Talent alum, Ray Singleton, wrote: "Our wife earned her wings yesterday while peacefully sleeping right at home where she wanted to be. This road ahead is going to be INCREDIBLY long & difficult!"
He continued to share his thoughts, writing: "She taught us all SOMETHING…She's where we're all trying to get one day so no need to be sad! Now we celebrate her legacy, her impact, her story & HER SPIRIT!"

Her brain cancer diagnosis was first confirmed in 2013. She was in remission until a second tumour was found in 2019.
In 2020, she defiantly said: "Even though I have this situation, it doesn't defeat me. It doesn't get me down It doesn't make me feel like ‘Why me.' It makes me feel like, ‘Thank God it was me.' That's how I feel."
