Nightbirde's AGT Audition

During her audition on June 28, the singer revealed that she has cancer in her spine, lungs, and liver. She did not reveal her exact diagnosis, but cases like this could possibly be metastatic cancer.

According to Medical News Today, this occurs when metastatic cancer spreads from one area of a patient's body to another. If a person with lung cancer has the disease spread in the bones, it may have already spread from the lungs to the bones.
