33-year-old singer Janice Freeman was recently pronounced dead at a local hospital in California after having trouble breathing at home.

Before appearing on The Voice, she had battled cervical cancer, meningitis and lupus, and her previous partner, the father of her daughter, Hannah, had died from cancer when Hannah was only 4 years old.

Freeman married in 2015. When she auditioned for The Voice in 2017 with a rock 'n' soul remake of Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive," she told the coaches, "I fought my whole life for this moment." Freeman eventually joined Miley Cyrus's team, and was clearly one of Cyrus's favorites.

Sadly, Freeman is not the first cancer-survivor Voice contestant to die recently. Season 1 top four finalist Beverly McClellan died in October of last year from endometrial cancer at age 49. The Voice paid tribute to McClellan on the first live results episode of last season.
