Kelly Rowland instantly connected with The Voice contestant, Jessie Eilers, 15 after she shared the tragic story of her mother, Tracy’s death.
“My mum passed away in 2016,” she said.
“There was a blood clot in her leg that went to her heart and stopped oxygen in her brain. She died very suddenly, and no one was expecting it.”
Jessie decided to dedicate her performance of Angel by Sarah McLachlan in the Blind Auditions to her mum.
“I know Tracy would be over the moon at where she is now and quite proud,” says her dad Phil.
Jessie’s touching performance managed to make, Kelly, Guy Sebastian and Boy George turn their chairs.
But after she revealed her story to the judges, Kelly became so touched that she made an emotional decision.
“I too lost my mum in 2014 so I completely understand,” said Kelly.
The singer’s mother, Doris, passed away suddenly three weeks after the birth of her son, Titan back in 2014.
“I have not sang a song for her,” she continued.
“It’s the hardest song I’m having to write, so the fact I just watched you get through that, you gave me courage to write that song.”
