Beverly McClellan, a talented Blues singer from the first season of « The Voice » has passed away from cancer.
According to Today, McClellan suffered from an aggressive form of Endometrial cancer that had already reached Stage 4 by the time she was diagnosed this past March. It quickly spread to her colon, bladder, and intestines. Following her diagnosis, her wife Monique, started a Go Fund Me page to raise money to offset the cost of treatments. Monique also used the page to share updates of her wife’s quickly progressing condition.
On October 25, Monique shared an update letting fans know that McClellan was reaching the end of her courageous fight against the disease. “OUR Journey is reaching an end,” it read. “Her prognosis is very poor and she wishes to keep her dignity here, in California with her family and the people she chose to also include.”
McClellan would finish her battle with cancer just several days after this final update on her condition. Monique made fans aware of her passing with a public statement.
“Beverly went home at 4:36 pm. She was surrounded by so much love and we shared some beautiful last days,” she wrote. “Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of us. We appreciate all of the love you have given and the good vibes you have sent. Peace love and light to you and your loved ones.”
