In the moving tribute, America’s Got Talent highlights why Brandon decided to become a doctor but never losing his passion for singing.

Dubbed “the singing doctor”, Rogers explained he was drawn to medicine because of a near tragedy in his family.

His passion to become a doctor

At the age of 6, he said, he came home from school to find his mother lying in a pool of blood.

“We rushed her to the hospital, the doctors were like heroes,” Rogers said. “They saved her life and it made me want to be the doctor that I am today.”

The family medicine doctor also said music helped him deal with “tough days” at work.

“My way to cope with the stress has always been music,” he said. “If I could find a way to combine being a doctor and medicine with music and singing that would be a dream come true.”

Today our hearts are deeply saddened to learn about the sudden death of Dr. Brandon Rogers. A few moths back we brought this young man out to the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas to perform with us. He was great all 3 nights! Just a genuinely nice person and a really good singer! Gone too young and gone too soon. It hurts to know that the world will never have a chance to witness what his impact on the world could have been as a Doctor and even on the music world. A great spirit and a great voice. Even for the little time we knew you you will be sorely missed. May God Bless, keep and comfort your family in this difficult time.
