"At the request of his family we would like to honor his memory by sharing his audition with you," The "AGT" statement read before airing Rogers’ audition.

The 29-year old doctor who practiced family medicine sang "Ribbon in the Sky" by Stevie Wonder for "America's Got Talent" season 12 judges Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Mel B. All of the judges said yes to his audition.

He was discovered by the producers of the show on Instagram where he frequently posted videos of himself singing various songs including Disney tunes and Boyz II Men singles. His video singing the group's song "On Bended Knee" was the one that caught the producers' attention.

In the special "AGT" episode, Rogers talked about why he became a doctor and how he wanted to combine his passion for medicine and music. "My inspiration for becoming a doctor was kind of born out of a pretty tough experience when I was six years old when I came home from school one day and found my mom laying in a pool of blood,” Rogers explained. “We rushed her to the hospital, the doctors were like heroes. They saved her life and it made me want to be the doctor that I am today."

He added that while being a doctor is tough, he feels that he really makes a difference. Whenever he finds work too stressful, he copes through music. "If I could find a way to combine being a doctor and medicine with music and singing that would be a dream come true," the singing doctor explained.

Unfortunately, Rogers died in a fatal car crash on June 11. His family and friends took to social media to pay tribute to him and express their condolences. Judge Mel B also tweeted about Rogers. Meanwhile, Boyz II Men wrote about Rogers on their official Instagram account. He got to perform with the band before. Check out their posts after the video featuring Rogers' audition for "AGT."

"America's Got Talent" airs in the US every Tuesday on NBC at 8 pm. Stay tuned for more updates about the talent competition.

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.

Man. Taken from us way too soon. Still somewhat in disbelief but I know that God must have needed His angel in Heaven. We got close over the past couple of years and I'm soo blessed to have had the chance to know such an amazing, beautiful, talented person. Your spirit and energy made people gravitate toward you and the smiles & laughs you gave will always be remembered. I wish I had the chance to say "goodbye" but it's not goodbye, it's see ya later. Rest peacefully @drb_rog as you continue to watch over all of us. I love you ❤️__

Words cannot express the hurt and sadness that come with losing my brother. They cannot express the joy and gratitude i feel for having gotten to know and love him. But the can express happiness for knowing that he touched many lives and inspired many. Thank you all for your prayers and condolences__ Cherish your loved ones and hold them close the way Brandon did. Life is short and Tomorrow is not promised
