The artist was best known for appearing on America’s Got Talent to support her singer husband and she also popped up on the talk show Ellen where she was given $25,000.
He shared an Instagram post for his late wife.
In the heartbreaking post, he wrote: “WELL DONE!! Our wife earned her wings yesterday while peacefully sleeping right at home where she wanted to be.
‘”his road ahead is going to be INCREDIBLY long & difficult! She taught us all SOMETHING…She’s where we’re all trying to get one day so no need to be sad! Now we celebrate her legacy, her impact, her story & HER SPIRIT!”
He then added: “She will LIVE FOREVER!!”
Singleton was first diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2013.
The star was free of the disease by the time the couple met in 2016 and they were married in 2018.
Tragically, in October 2019, Singleton received her second diagnosis.
Speaking on WSOCTV.com, Singleton said: “To me, cancer is a blessing, because it’s my way of telling people that no matter what it is, it’s going to be OK.”
Mr Singleton added: “I told my pastor and God in front of a lot of people, ‘I’m with her through sickness and health, and this is just a part of that.”
