A singer who competed on the NBC reality show “The Voice” in 2017 has died. CNN reports that Janice Freeman died Saturday following an extreme case of pneumonia and after a blood clot traveled to her heart.

“Freeman’s husband, Dion, performed CPR until an ambulance took her to a local hospital, where she died on Saturday,” CNN reports. Freeman, who was a contestant on season 13 of “The Voice,” was 33.

A spokesperson for Freeman said in a statement: “A survivor and fighter, and a beautiful force in this world, Janice gained notoriety through her success on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ as a member of Miley Cyrus’ team. Her story inspired fans nationwide, having successfully battled cervical cancer and living her life to the fullest while fighting lupus.”

CNN adds: “Freeman stunned judges of ‘The Voice’ during season 13 with a powerful rendition of ‘Radioactive’ by Imagine Dragons. Both Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Hudson offered her a spot on their teams after hearing her sing in the blind auditions phase of the show.”
