The singer’s health deteriorated sharply on Wednesday when she was taken to hospital. They immediately took her to the operating room. But there they declared the star dead. But doctors kept her body on devices so that her organs could be used for possible transplants.
The cause of death of the forty-two-year-old singer was a stroke, specifically a cerebral aneurysm. There will be no public funeral due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Nikki McKibbin competed in American Idol in 2002. She returned to the race after 11 years to support her son Tristan Langley in singing.
Americans remember her the most thanks to a performance with the song Black Velvet by Alannah Myles. She finished third in the show, with Justin Guarini in second place and Kelly Clarkson the winner, who became the first ever American SuperStar.
